Our friends at FilmDrunk are reporting Ricky Gervais has been selected to host the 2011 Golden Globe awards. The British comic also hosted last year's Globes, receiving mixed reviews.

In fact, Gervais said he was surprised the Hollywood Foreign Press Association asked him to do the show again.

But not as surprised as everyone in the entertainment industry was last week, when the Academy Awards announced their completely outside-the-box selection of actors James Franco and Anne Hathaway as 2011 co-hosts.

Even if he didn't nail his hosting duties in 2010, Gervais does seem like he could deliver an entertaining and somewhat-edgy show.

As for Franco/Hathaway? Well, Franco is a pretty quirky dude with solid comic timing, and Hathaway is a fine actress, who is often very pleasing to look at.

What do you think? Which one of these "surprising" host selections makes you want to watch more?
