The opening monologue on the Golden Globes was off the hook!

Ricky Gervais has kicked off the Golden Globe Awards with a celebrity-shredding opening monologue that didn't hold back.

Gervais, the outspoken comic star of the British version of The Office, promised to go out there "guns blazing, like it's the end of the world" and he delivered.

"It's going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking ... or as Charlie Sheen calls it: breakfast," Gervais said at the beginning of the star-studded ceremony, before hacking into Scientology, Cher and Hugh Hefner.

But most of his spite was saved for The Tourist, a recent film flop starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp that caused controversy for being a late inclusion amongst the Golden Globe nominees.

He admitted he hadn't seen it, then said: "But neither has anyone else." Both stars from the film were in the audience.

He later introduced Bruce Willis as "Ashton Kutcher's dad".

Gervais returned as Globes host for the second-straight year. He has joked that he did not go far enough on last year's show but that he would push the limits this time.
