Here’s a line that’s surely going to draw gasps ...
“I haven’t even seen ‘The Tourist,’” Gervais said. “Who has? There’s this ridiculous rumor going around that the only reason ‘The Tourist’ was nominated was so that the Hollywood Foreign Press could hang out with Johnny Deppand Angelina Jolie. That’s rubbish. They also accepted bribes.”
The old rule - He who has the Gold rules.
Ow! That hurt! But, damn, it's funny, too.
I intentionally didn't watch it, but it sounds like I missed a good show!
It’s an awards show where narcissistic liberals present awards to other narcissistic liberals. If he had punched each one in the face and spit on them, it wouldn’t have been “too much”. I love the use of the word “mean-spiritied” because that’s a liberal code-word for “you are absolutely correct, but I don’t like to hear it”.
Gravais is hilarious and his no holds bar routine during the Globes was perfect. I looked forward to seeing him stroll out onto stage just to hear what he was going to say next.
GLobes are nothing more than a bunch of self fellacio.
Hollywood...they can dish it out...but can’t take it. I found him to very funny.
Sounds to me like Ricky is shopping for a good ass-kicking, and at some point he just might get it...
I think all of those jokes are funny.
I didn't even know who this Gervais was but now I think he's funny. Nice to see Hollywood have to take some of what they dish out.
None of us are surprised that they can't take it. How's it feel, guys? LOLOL
Maybe next year they’ll go with something more “high brow” and mainstream, like Adam Sandler mashing various props against his crotch before every award.
Gervais has a nasty streak, always has - part of why he’s popular in the UK and hasn’t quite gotten on in the US. In other countries the “tall poppy syndrome” earns you a load of balancing grief - in the US, stars think they’re entitled to nothing but adulation.
A lot of brit stars are fully capable of self-deprecating humor and can take a jab. In the US, our stars are too busy plotting meetings with the President and UN appointments.
Clowns should be treated as clowns, and put in their place if they think singing and dancing qualify them for greater responsibilities than entertainment.
I never watch any of this Hollywood cr*p, but it sounds like someone finally put these egomaniacs in their place. Sorry I missed it.
Too me, thats funny, he killed.
They’re just mad that he was ripping them rather than Bush.
Although the “jokes” would be about those stupid, nasty, Conservative Nazi fascist Tea Party murderers instead. Which the Hollywood elite would find to be hilarious.
Hollywood libs don’t have a problem being mean spirited when it comes to commenting on conservatives. I was glad to see them taken down a few notches.
It’s a trade show. Nothing more.
You don’t blame the scorpion for stinging the frog.
Never heard of him, but I think I like him now.
We don’t have TV, and wouldn’t watch an award show if we did.
It does sound like this guy walked in and took no prisoners, which I find quite diverting.
