Golden Globe Awards 2014: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are golden as hosts

Former 'SNL' vets shine in second-straight year as Globe hosts, proving 'this is Hollywood; if something kind of works, they’ll just keep doing it until everybody hates it.'

The golden girls are back!

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were both gorgeous and funny for their second go 'round as the hosts of the Golden Globes — providing more evidence why they’re America’s most wanted award show hosts.

The pair's opening monologue was chock full with zingers delivered with sweet smiles.

Fey, for example, on the space drama, “Gravity”: “It’s the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.”

Poehler, who won her own Golden Globe, for Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy, later in the ceremony, followed with her own quip: “‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ is a big nominee tonight, and yes, I really love the film, but some of it was too graphic. If I want to see Jonah Hill masturbate at a pool party, I’d go to one of Jonah Hill’s pool parties.”

She also described the mini-series “Masters of Sex” as “the degree I got from Boston College.”
Fey and Poehler, who won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy, hosted for the second straight year.
To which Fey responded that “The Black List” is “who’s invited to my room tonight — I’m talking to you, Somali pirates. ‘I am the captain now!’”

Other notable quotables included:

n Fey introducing Leonardo DiCaprio: ""And now, like a supermodel's vagina, let's give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio."

n Fey on Meryl Streep”: “So brilliant in ‘August Osage County,’ proving that there are still great parts in Hollywood for Meryl Streeps over 60.”

n Fey on hosting the Globes with Amy a second time: “This is Hollywood; if something kind of works, they’ll just keep doing it until everybody hates it.”

n Poehler on “12 Years a Slave”: “I loved ‘12 Years a Slave,’ and I can honestly say that after seeing that film, I will never look at slavery the same way again.” Fey followed with, “Wait - how were you looking at it?” before Poehler quickly moved to another topic.

n Fey on Matthew McConaughey: “For his role in ‘Dallas Buyers Club,’ he lost 45 pounds, or what actresses call ‘being in a movie.’”

n Fey on the length of the broadcast: “We’re gonna get this show done in three hours, or as Martin Scorsese calls it, ‘Act I.’”
