Gervais promised to be 'nice' at Golden Globes, but couldn't

By Bob Tourtellotte BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (Reuters) - Comedian Ricky Gervais promised to be "nice" but wasted no time in tweaking Hollywood's top stars with his acerbic British wit upon his return to hosting the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday. "Joy" actress and winner Jennifer Lawrence, 25, was pilloried for her $52 million paycheck, Golden Globes organizers the Hollywood Foreign Press Association saw their trophy tarnished and Sean Penn took a hit when Gervais dubbed him a "snitch" for his secret interview of Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. Not even Sean Penn will find me," Gervais joked in his monologue.
