I loved when Ricky Gervais announcing the Winner of Best Animated Film, reads, "...And the Winner is, Helen Mirren?"

"Extras" is now my favorite show and he was said to be filming an episode while accepting his award and presenting. They guy is truly striking while the iron is hot.

How soon before I get burned out on him?
