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

My fav line by RG There’s no In memorium tonight because it wasn’t diverse enough, too many white people.” We’ll see what happens next year.”
the hollyweirds were laughing because they had been caught. Gervais was telling the truth.
I have always believed that people cannot and will not laugh at something false.
You can only laugh at something true.
on You Tube they have his opening at his 4 previous GG shows. This one takes the cake.
middle photo Jonathan price. I think he plays pope ben in two popes. Gervais listed pedophile movies from last year and included two popes.
I thought he was a dickweed. No?
What do ya mean?
Funny how? I mean, funny like he's a clown? He amuses you? He makes you laugh? He's here to f'n amuse you? How da f--- is he funny?
Michelle Williams (I think her name is) said she’s grateful that she could dismember/burn alive a human she created because it would have been in the way of her getting this award. That led to tears of some in the audience.
I wanted to see the dresses but should have known better than to watch this Hollywood homage to itself.
I watched RG open and shut out down. He’s got some balls. Everytime he hosted he expected to be fired, but he’s good for ratings. If he hosted the oscars the ratings would double.
An internet search for this has already come up with an abbreviated version of this with music playing in place of some of the jokes and for parts of some jokes that they do have, making them lose their punch. I wonder how long this actual version will be allowed to be played.
you tube has his first 4 GG hosting monologues. I hope this one gets posted.
They are censoring a LOT of Joaquin Phoenix’s acceptance speech.
That was EPIC, period,
I couldn’t even follow what Joaquin Phoenix said, his speech was cut so much. Like 3 or 4 times, there was just blank air as he was talking.
Switching gears a bit, Gervais devoted a chunk of the monologue to Netflix’s industry domination. The streaming service’s After Life series is about a man who wants to kill himself after his wife dies of cancer, and it’s still more entertaining than the Globes, Gervais said.
Then he offered a spoiler alert: Since After Life has a Season 2, the lead character obviously doesn’t kill himself, “just like Jeffrey Epstein.” As the crowd gasped, the host, returning to form, said, “Oh shut up – I know he’s your friend.”
Hope I haven't missed it - when's it on and what network?
Walk towards the light at the end of that tunnel Ricky, and God speed.
& Patricia Arquette! Ughh
Her stylist must’ve called in sick, that dress was ridiculous.
& if course, she ripped Trump..almost in tears about Iran.
She should go try walking around Iran in that dress & see what happens.
Holy Moly - the sourpuss look on the libtard’s faces is to die for! Thanks for posting ;’}
That know nothing fool would be stoned to death. And she looked horrible!
But on the other hand, I loved the stabbing.
Oh no she didn’t...?!
That rates as a top 5 of the most disgusting things ever uttered.
