Thanks. Loved it! I think he gets what’s going on around here.

Tom Hanks seemed perturbed, at least twice!

I watched his speech, found it well done and skewered people who need it now and then. I don’t know if I ever saw one of his bits before. He did very well. Thank you for posting it.

It was funny to see the facial expressions - few seemed able to decide whether they should laugh or affect anger. I guess many were waiting for a guiding ‘cue’.

An ending we’d all get: After a short pause... “Oh, don’t look so shocked... This is just a parody.”

He really really put them down. It was brilliant.

Very few of them had a sense of humor throughout. Martin Scorcese did though - when Gervaise said he was too short to ride the rides at an amusement park, he was mouthing, “It’s true. It’s true.”

I just turned it on tv to take a peak, and I couldn’t take 8 seconds of Tom Hanks fake crying, cut shot to Meryl Streep pretending to be adoring, and I was out. I didn’t even register a single word he said, the phoniness of the whole scene overwhelmed me. Yikes.

I saw this reported in the Post, and while everything he said was pretty gross, it was very funny and right on target! Surprised he got away with it.

Gervais takes the piss out of these pompous, privileged, Stalinist Hollyweird snots.

Golden Globes: Read Ricky Gervais' Scathing Opening Monologue

Best part:

"So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.

So if you win, come up accept your little award, thank your agent, and your god and f**k off."

Forget the fact, there is a very proclaimed bounty on the head of the President of the united States.

All the Commies in that room, be a good hit.

It was epic. I don’t know who the guy is, but I thought it was funny when he kept saying to himself, “This is my last time, so I don’t care.”

Those Hollywood people are so full of themselves. They are so used to everyone fawning all over them, snapping pictures, asking them questions as if they have something worthwhile to say....sickening. I despise most of them. Nice to see someone not give a schiff about what they thought.
