Last week the Golden Globe Awards announced that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler would be hosting the show in 2014 and 2015. There is clearly no better duo for the role. “We are thrilled Amy and Tina have decided to return as hosts of the Golden Globe Awards for the next two years,” Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Theo Kingma expressed in a statement. “Their return ensures that the Golden Globes will once again be the biggest, best and most entertaining awards celebration of the year.”
When the former Saturday Night Live stars first hosted the ceremony in January 2013, the telecast drew 19.7 million viewers, up 17% from the previous year. To celebrate their reunion plans, let’s recount the most hilarious lines from this year’s show:
On the price of beauty: “The Hunger Games was one of the biggest films of the year, and also what I call the six weeks it took me to get into this dress.”
On pie: “Ang Lee has been nominated for the Life of Pi,’ which is what I’m gonna call the six weeks after I take this dress off!”

On Katheryn Bigelow, director of Zero Dark Thirty: “Katheryn Bigelow’s nominated tonight,” Amy Poehler said during the intro. “I haven’t really been following the controversy over Zero Dark Thirty, but when it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron.”
Making fun of the Hathaway-Franco Oscars performance: “Anne Hathaway, you gave a stunning performance in Les Misérables,” Tina told her. “I have not seen someone so totally alone and abandoned like that since you were on stage with James Franco at the Oscars.”

On the great Meryl Streep: “Meryl Streep is not here tonight,” Poehler said. “She has the flu—and I hear she’s amazing in it.”
On Tarantino: “Quentin Tarantino is here – the star of all my sexual nightmares.”
On TV: “Only at the Golden Globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people of television.”
