The wild, crazy and obnoxious Golden Globe and Emmy Award winning Ricky Gervais (“The Office,” “The Ricky Gervais Show”) returns for the third time as host of NBC’s “The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards” on Sunday, January 15.

As customary, the A-list will come out to play and this year’s presenters include Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba, Sarah Michelle Geller, Channing Tatum, Seth Rogen, Queen Latifah, Dustin Hoffman, Paula Patton and the just added Madonna amongst others.

This year’s show will again be broadcast live coast-to-coast from 5-8 p.m. (PT) and 8-11 p.m. (ET) from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills and seen in over 160 countries worldwide.

No doubt all the celebs will be waiting with baited breath to hear whether they’ll be the butt of the joke.

Gervais told TV critics Friday morning that “I wasn’t going to come back, but then I read some people didn’t want me to, so I did it just to annoy them.”
