The 49-year-old British comedian hosted the event, and managed to trash Angelina Jolie, Charlie Sheen, Hugh Hefner, Mel Gibson, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and Robert Downey Jnr in the process.
The funnyman has been blasted from all angles and is unlikely to be invited back to the ceremony again. But despite the backlash, Ricky has insisted that his jokes went down well.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he said, 'Everyone took it well and the atmosphere backstage and at the after show was great.'
Explaining his absence from the middle of the show, he said, 'I did every single introduction I was meant to. There just happened to be a long gap. This is because I was allowed to choose who I would introduce in advance. I obviously chose presenters who I had the best jokes for (And who I knew had a good sense of humour).'
But he did concede, 'I probably won't be here next year.'
