Forbes has named Leonardo DiCaprio the world’s highest paid actor in 2010.

The Inception star crushed the second highest paid on the list, Johnny Depp, by $22 million dollars, earning an estimated $77 million. Not that making $50 million dollars is something to be ashamed of for the runner up star of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Leonardo’s films Inception and Shutter Island made nearly $1.2 billion worldwide in 2010. Per Forbes, DiCaprio made $15 million upfront for each film and shared the wealth of the profits.

Depp, who topped the list in 2009 by making $75 million then, still came in second in 2010 despite starring in the year’s biggest grossing film, Alice In Wonderland, which made $1.024 billion at the box office, as well as The Tourist, which brought in $278 million worldwide.

Third placed on the Forbes’ list is Adam Sandler at $40 million, followed by Will Smith and Tom Hanks with $36 million and $35 million respectively.

On the female front, Sarah Jessica Parker and Angelina Jolie both made around $30 million each in 2010.

Forbes magazine’s list of highest paid actors for financial year 2010, top five:

1. Leonardo DiCaprio ($77 million)
2. Johnny Depp ($50 million)
3. Adam Sandler ($40 million)

4. Will Smith ($36 million)
5. Tom Hanks ($35 million)

Ricky Gervais: ” It Was All In Good Fun!”

What did you think of Ricky Gervais’ one-sided banter last night as he hosted the Golden Globe Awards? I felt it was just a bit too mean-spirited and don’t think most of the celebs he insulted liked his style either.

During the show, Robert Downey, Jr. said: “Aside from the fact that it’s been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I’d say the vibe of the show’s pretty good so far, wouldn’t you?”

Even mild-mannered Tom Hanks took a jab back at Gervais during the award presentation by saying he could remember “when Ricky Gervais was a slightly chubby but very kind comedian.”

Here are just some of the comments Gervais made. What do you think: Funny or insulting?

  1. “It’s going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or as Charlie Sheen calls it, “breakfast.”
  2. “Everything this year was three-dimensional, except the characters in The Tourist. I feel bad about that joke. I’m jumping on the bandwagon, because I haven’t even seen that movie. But who has?”
  3. “Our first presenter is beautiful, talented, and Jewish apparently. Mel Gibson told me that. He’s obsessed. Please welcome Scarlett Johansson.”
  4. “Next up, Eva Longoria has the daunting task of introducing the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press. That’s nothing, I just had to help him off the toilet and pop his teeth in.”
  5. “Do you want to go see Cher? No. Why not? Because it’s not 1975.”
  6. “There were a lot of big films that didn’t get nominated. Nothing for Sex and the City 2. I was sure the Golden Globes for special effects would go to the team which airbrushed that poster.”
  7. “Also not nominated I Love You Phillip Morris. Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay. So, the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists.  My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke.”
  8. “Who are our next presenter from such films as Hudson Hawk, Look Who’s Talking, Mercury Rising, Color of Night, The Fifth Element, Hart’s War. Please welcome Ashton Kutcher’s dad, Bruce Willis.”
  9. “I love this next presenter. He’s so cool. He’s the star of Iron Man. Two Girls and a Guy. Wonderboys. I’m sorry are these porn films? Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Bowfinger? Up the Academy. Come on! He has done all of those films, but many of you in this room probably know him best from such facilities as The Betty Ford Clinic and the Los Angeles County Jail. Robert Downey, Jr.”
  10. “I’d like to quash the rumors that the only reason The Tourist was nominated was so that the Hollywood Foreign Press can hang out with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. That is rubbish, that is not the only reason. They also accepted bribes.”
  11. My least favorite: “And thank you to God…… For making me an atheist.”

How did Gervais feel about his own performance? Here is what he told The Los Angeles Times after he finished ripping into all of Hollywood:

“I hope everyone took it well… I hope they can all take a bit of roasting from a nobody like me. Did I think twice about any of [the jokes]? No, I didn’t. I’d say any of that to their faces. I’d walk up to them and say it. That’s the test for me. And it’s in good fun.”
