The search for the 2014 Golden Globes hosting gig is over before it ever began. The hilarious duo of Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell tore it up while presenting the Best Performance By An Actress In A Motion Picture – Comedy Or Musical, cracking up both the room's A-list stars and the Twitter audience.

The two former "Saturday Night Live" stars were laugh-out-loud hilarious as they crept out on stage appearing wide-eyed and awed by their surroundings. Wiig uttered a few "oh-my-goshes," while Ferrell craned his head around like a curious puppy.

"The Golden Globes has asked if each presenter would watch all of the films in their category to have an appreciation of these amazing performances … which I did," Ferrell said. "I totally watched them."

Did Wiig also watch, he asked. "Ye-es. Yes! Not a big deal."

They began (incorrectly) recapping each performance, from Emily Blunt in "Salmon Fishing in Yemen" to Jennifer Lawrence in "Silver Linings Playbook."

Salma Hayek and Paul Rudd won’t be getting any awards for smooth presentations. The two stars got caught in an moment during a technical glitch at the 70^th annual Golden Globes.

The two were tasked with handing out the award for best actor in a TV series.

The “Savages” star introduced the nominees, including Bryan Cranston for “Breaking Bad” and Damian Lewis for “Homeland,” saying, “They drink, they do drugs, they like they have a huge ego, and they are not to be trusted.”

Paul Rudd chimed in, “But uh, that’s just their agents.” Boom! Except…silence. The zing of that line went totally bust. Memo to the Golden Globe writers: Agent jokes apparently don’t play well with this crowd.

But a bad joke goes over better than no lines at all. As the camera came back to the pair, who were then to read off the nominees for best TV drama, the two simply looked confused, and said nothing as the teleprompter failed to roll.

Finally Rudd, with

Is it us or is it 2010 all over again?

The Austrian-born Waltz was first introduced to a wide American audience via his portrayal of Col. Hans Landa, a scheming yet oddly likable (or at least occasionally amusing) Nazi officer in Quentin Tarantino's WWII revisionist fantasy, "Inglourious Basterds." Waltz not only held his own against the film's lead actor, superstar Brad Pitt, he completely upstaged him at every turn, along with all of his other co-stars (whether he had any actual screen time with them or not). Tarantino's stylized dialogue effortlessly rolled off Waltz's tongue as he brought a fey charm to a despicable monster, making Landa the most compelling Tarantino character since perhaps Jules Winfield (Samuel L. Jackson) in "Pulp Fiction." Waltz won both the Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance.

Co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler began the Golden Globes with a bang-bang monologue that poked fun of actors, directors, and, of course, themselves. Was it the best award show opening ever? You be the judge.

Denzel Washington brought a very special date to the Golden Globes Sunday night, but she was definitely unexpected. Before beginning their interview on Sunday night's red carpet, Denzel advised E!'s Ryan Seacrest, "It's not my wife Pauletta, it's my daughter."

Washington's daughter, Olivia -- who has rarely been seen and photographed at events -- accompanied him to the ceremony. She filled in for his normal date -- his wife of 29 years, Pauletta. 22-year-old Olivia is one of Denzel and Pauletta's four children, John David, Katia, and her twin brother, Malcolm.

Denzel's introduction saved Seacrest from an awkward mistake, as mystery dates have perplexed interviewers in the past. The worst mishap was probably the moment Joan Rivers confused Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins' then-wife, Jennifer Lynton, for his mother on an awards red carpet in the past.

Sunday's Golden Globe Awards red carpet featured a bevy of black and white, but one little black dress stood out in a major way. Actress Katharine McPhee dazzled in a plunging V-neck gown with a thigh-high slit by Olivier Theyskens for Theory. And when we say plunging…

The “Smash” star dominated the Sexiest Dress category (if there was one), leaving E! host Ryan Seacrest nearly speechless (and he's seen it all!).

McPhee told Seacrest that black and white will be big for spring (she researched it!), so she got a jump start and went for it with the daring black stunner, despite the unseasonably chilly California weather. She accessorized with a high updo and swinging earrings, but left the necklace to the imagination.

While several other Hollywood stars were shivering, the actress said she was too excited to be cold.

"I'm not feeling anything," she said. "I'm just excited to be here."

Seacrest told her she "definitely accomplished sexy" with the ultra-exposed, plunging neckline.
