"Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler opened the Golden Globes 2013 with a routine poking fun at former host Ricky Gervais, Kathryn Bigelow&amp;#039;s marriage to James Cameron and an absent Meryl Streep. The Saturday Night Live alums also sent up the likes of Ben Affleck, former Oscars co-host Anne Hathaway and Quentin Tarantino during their opening speech.      30 Rock actress Fey first shared her feelings of the excitement in the air, while Parks and Recreation star Poehler went right to the one-liners by telling the audience she smelled &amp;quot;pills in the room&amp;quot;. The duo also spoke about &amp;#039;the rat-faced people of TV&amp;#039; rubbing shoulders with glamorous movie stars, before getting a rise out of the audience with jokes about former awards host Ricky Gervais&amp;#039; absence. &amp;quot;Ricky Gervais could not be here tonight because he is no longer technically in showbusiness,&amp;quot; Fey quipped.   &amp;quot;We want to assure you that we have no intention of being edgy or offensive tonight, because as Ricky learned the hard way, when you run afoul of The Hollywood Foreign Press, they make you host this show two more times,&amp;quot; Poehler assured the audience. Fey quipped that while she loved Anne Hathaway&amp;#039;s performance in Les Mis\u00E9rables, she had not seen someone &amp;quot;so totally alone and abandoned like that since you were on stage with James Franco at the Oscars&amp;quot;. Later in their opening monologue, Poehler referred to The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) as a type of STD that can cause cervical cancer if left untreated. Poehler also got laughs from the audience when she noted that she &amp;quot;hadn&amp;#039;t really been following the controversy over Zero Dark Thirty, but when it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron.&amp;quot; Photo gallery - Golden Globes best &amp;amp; worst dressed:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
