Ricky Gervais Opens Golden Globes By Telling Woke Hollywood To Skip The Lectures
Deadline ^ | January 5, 2020 | Greg Evans

Posted on 01/05/2020 5:50:25 PM PST by EdnaMode

Felicity Huffman, Cats, Joe Pesci, the Catholic Church, Judi Dench and James Corden got the Ricky Gervais treatment during the opening monologue of tonight’s Golden Globe Awards, but none took the brunt of the host’s jibes quite as sharply as Hollywood itself.

Casting the industry town as hypocritically woke – with a Jeffrey Epstein joke thrown in for good measure – the notoriously scathing British comic advised Golden Globe winners to skip the moralizing. Said Gervais, “Thank your agent and your God and…” The rest was bleeped, but he seemed to say something along the lines of “then get the [expletive] off the stage.”

“You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything,” Gervais cautioned. “Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.”

Apple TV’s woke The Morning Show, Gervais said, was “made by a company that runs sweat shops in China.”

Individual stars didn’t get through the opening monologue completely unscathed, if none were as skewered quite so efficiently as Gervais’ former punching bag Mel Gibson. Felicity Huffman, Gervais said, made the license plate on his car, Joe Pesci looks like Baby Yoda

According to this (don’t know if it is true):

During a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Gervais revealed that like the Golden Globes promos claimed, producers really didn't know what he was going to do at the awards show. When Norton asked about whether they approve Gervais' script, the comic explained, "When I do [the show], I say, 'I'm gonna say what I want, I don't have to rehearse,' and they say, 'That's fine.' But I do have to tell a lawyer [the jokes] just before I go on."

"People ask, 'Why do you go to so much trouble to offend people?' and I say, 'It's no trouble. It's easy,'" he added with a laugh.

“Anti-SJW liberals”. Interesting.

I’d add that Mel Brooks, Seth MacFarlane and to a lesser extent, Jon Stewart are talented and have thriving careers.

The bulk of SJWs either have no talent, no careers or are washed up, thus they have “to scream for supper”.

My two cents.

And Gervais did rip them new ones, it was a sweet moment.

No doubt that’s exactly what DeNiro would have done.

Yes, the dresses with the cleavage. I thought that the Hollywood crowd didn’t want men looking at them anymore. Could have fooled me.

I heard the video. He pretty much said “Oh shut up. I know he was a friend of yours and I don’t care. I don’t care.” and then moved on...It was priceless.

I’m actually surprised he remained calm throughout the evening without saying a word. I was actually expecting him to rant on about Trump at some point.

Speaking of fake boobs, what the heck happened to Salma Hayek? I remember seeing the trailer for her in Zorro, but now her chest is 3 times the size.

Wrong table, the almost unidentifiable pencil neck knob head at the other table they keep showing.

It was a joy to watch

I look across that crowd and I see

A bunch of effing faggots who influence our culture to the detriment

A bunch of daft Botox women who do the same and are completely ignorant of history

A table full of old perverted Italian heritage men and one Jewish perv...Pacino Romano and Scorsese excluded

And a few decent actors scattered about....Brad Pitt included ...he rocked OUATIH

It’s pathetic compared to when we had actors who loved America

Screenwriters especially TV have always been commies
