Ricky Gervais, who has hosted the Golden Globes three times, has ruled out the possibility of returning for a fourth. He took to his blog to make the announcement saying, "I've told my agent to never let me be persuaded to do it again though. It's like a parachute jump.

I've just learned that, at tonight's Board of Governors meeting of the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, members discussed moving up the 2011 Oscars to sometime in January. You read that right -- JANUARY! This would be a shocking change, not just because the ABC telecast of the 83rd Academy Awards would conflict with (or is it more like outfox?) NBC's competing Golden Globes broadcast. And bump up against the Super Bowl.

"Mad Men" won despite a big night for Showtime's "Dexter." Michael C. Hall won for best actor in a drama and John Lithgow won a supporting actor honor.
