The stars offered up a surprising number of one-liners during the Golden Globes on Sunday night. Here were my top 20. I invite you to send in your own nominations.

Ricky Gervais, from the monologue: “Let’s get on with it before NBC replaces me with Jay Leno.”

Sir Paul McCartney, presenting best animated feature: “Animation is not just for children, it is also for adults who take drugs.”

Jane Krakowski, presenting with Neil Patrick Harris and referencing her large forehead: “That’s why when I do scenes with Alec Baldwin, he just stares at my boobs. That’s how good an actor he is. He finds a way.”

Tom Hanks, presenting “Julie & Julia”: “This is not the movie in which Meryl Streep ends up in bed with Alec Baldwin, but the one where she ends up in bed with Stanley Tucci — by any measure, a substantial move up.”

Ricky Gervais: “One stereotype I hate is that all Irishmen are drunk, sweaty hell-raisers. Ladies and gentlemen: Colin Farrell.”

Colin Farrell, presenting: “Oh, I once was a cliche …”

Meryl Streep, accepting for “Julie & Julia”: “I want to change my name to T Bone.”

Drew Barrymore, accepting for “Grey Gardens”: “Michael, thanks for taking a chance on me. I know I could be Jeff Spicoli’s girlfriend. With the lisp and the paralysis.”

Zachary Levi, presenting with Amy Poehler: “Truth be told, you’re not the only woman who’s had to fake it with me.”

Matthew Weiner, referencing a comment from previous winner Drew Barrymore: “I, too, was in this ballroom when I was 7 years old. It was for a bar mitzvah. But it rained, and everybody’s hair was just as curly as tonight.”

Robert De Niro, presenting Martin Scorsese with the Cecil B. DeMille award: “We’re like an old married couple. We built a life together, we have great memories. We just don’t sleep together anymore.”

Martin Scorsese: “Making films and preserving them are the same thing.”

Ricky Gervais, holding a draft beer: “Cheers. I’ve had a couple, I’m not gonna lie to you. I like a drink as much as the next man. Unless the next man is Mel Gibson.”

Ryan Murphy, accepting for “Glee”: “This is for anybody and everybody who got a wedgie in high school.”

Todd Phillips, accepting for “The Hangover”: “Now I’m going to get in a fistfight with Harvey Weinstein. But I have Mike Tyson here so I’m good.” Second quote: “I want to thank my mom for supporting my decision to become a director when she realized I wasn’t as smart as my two sisters.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger, introducing “Avatar”: “I made a deal with Fox that half the proceeds from the movie will go straight to California’s budget.”

Robert Downey Jr., accepting for “Sherlock Holmes”: “If you start playing violins, I will tear this joint apart. I first want to thank [wife] Susan Downey, who told me Matt Damon was going to win and there was no need to prepare a speech.”

Jeff Bridges, accepting for “Crazy Heart”: “You’re really screwing up my under-appreciated status here.”

Julia Roberts, presenting best picture, drama: “If you want attention, sit next to Paul McCartney. I’ve never gotten so many texts in my life.”

James Cameron, accepting for best picture, drama: “This is the best job in the world. I just want you to give it up for yourselves.”
