Gervais and Brand do The Simpsons

published 21 February 2011

Taking a very swift swipe at the Golden Globes, Ricky Gervais and Russell Brand lent their voices to last night's episode of The Simpsons.

Ridiculing the recent awards ceremony, the clip below shows Gervais playing up his role as America's favourite new villain while Brand goes through the nominations for a number of spoof animated shorts. Keep your eyes peeled for brief appearances from Elton John and Lady Gaga.

Last night's episode also featured a surprise cameo from Halle Berry, taking part in the general awards tomfoolery just in time for this Sunday's Oscars.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
