"Michael Bay described our next presenters as … oh, um, sorry, can't do this." - Tina Fey, taking a jab at the Transformers director who flubbed his lines and ran offstage at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas earlier this month.

After Poehler won Best Actress in a Comedy for Parks and Recreation, Fey congratulated her by saying: "I love you, and there is a special place in hell for you."

That was an indirect dig at Taylor Swift, who was sitting in the front row. The backstory goes: Last year at the award show, Fey and Poehler told Swift to "stay away from Michael J. Fox's son," Sam, who was Mr. Golden Globes. Then, Swift responded in an interview by saying: "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."

Matt Damon: Garbage man

"Matt Damon is here for Behind the Candelabra … on any other night, in any other room, you'd be a big deal, but tonight, don't take this the wrong way, you're basically a garbage person." - Amy Poehler

Damon responded when he came onstage to present Best Film nominee Captain Phillips. "It's me the garbage man. The garbage man who didn't bring his glasses."

Joaquin around
