“The Expendables” star Mel Gibson is set to serve as a presenter at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards, which will be held on Sunday, Jan. 10, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. “Vinyl” actress Olivia Wilde will be his fellow presenter at the ceremony.

On Monday, the Golden Globe Awards took to Twitter to announce Gibson and Wilde as presenters. The award-giving body is apparently happy to have the two actors take part in the upcoming ceremony.

Gibson was previously in Australia directing “Hacksaw Ridge.” Principal photography of the upcoming war drama film based on the true story about American Army medic Desmond T. Doss started in New South Wales on Sept. 5, 2015.

In an interview with The Wrap, one of the Australian actors in “Hacksaw Ridge” praised "The Expendables" actor as a director. Luke Bracey told the publication that Gibson “just knows everything about anything” and said that he is one of the most intelligent people he has ever met.

Meanwhile, Wilde earlier attended a special screening of “Meadowland” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. During the event, she told Just Jared that the film is “by far the most challenging and most gratifying thing” she has ever been a part of.

In other news, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will not return as hosts of the 73rd Golden Globe Awards, which will be broadcast live on NBC. The two comediennes hosted the awards ceremony from 2013 to 2015.

The 73rd Golden Globe Awards will instead mark the fourth time for Ricky Gervais as host. In each of the three times he hosted the awards ceremony, he has made a reference to Gibson.

In 2010, Gibson presented the award for the Golden Globe Awards’ Best Director, which was won by “Avatar” director James Cameron. At the time, Gervais joked about "The Expendables" actor’s DUI arrest.

Gervais mentioned Gibson again when he introduced Scarlett Johansson, who was the first presenter of the Golden Globe Awards in 2011, and described her as “beautiful, talented and Jewish,” adding that Gibson was “obsessed.” In Gervais' opening monologue in the same ceremony in 2012, the comedian promised that he will not mention Gibson.
