Gervais, 58, has sharply divided opinion as host, taking direct aim at the
Hollywood A-listers in the audience while helping to keep TV viewing figures highs.
"Once again, they've made me an offer I can't refuse," Gervais said on Tuesday, announcing his return for the 77th edition of the award show, which honors television and film.
Best known as the creator of TV mockumentary "The Office" and himself a three-time Golden Globe winner, Gervais first hosted the event in 2010.
