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

That’s a Faustian deal, “What would you be willing to sacrifice to get an award?”
That line was great!
Because he dropped a bunch of F bombs
& then at the end told the hypocrites if serious about climate change, don’t take private jets to Palm Springs & back..
Ricky was brilliant tonight.
No, he will never be asked back to this event.
What’s more, he doesn’t give a damn!
I don’t know about his beliefs, but tonight he appeared to be stone cold sober, and he meant every word.
Tom Hanks looked like he was about to stroke out!
Is he in Ghislaine’s little black book?
Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg didn’t know how to react.
Plus I suspect DeNiro, Pachino and Pesche were playing the same parts they’ve played for years.
You must be one of “them.”
Thanks for the valid YT link. Ricky Gervais was funny as he skewered thems in Hollywood. Will Tim Cook take a hit out on him?
Define “them.”

I didn’t hear it myself, so I didn’t want to say for sure without knowing.
That was a good one....maybe a sly jab at DeNiro and all those octogenarians at his table!
The carbon footprint of that crowd could power the average African nation.
How dare they? ;-)
I thought that was them and it was. Thanks. Hanks looked such a stiff! And Spielberg an uncomprehending bald head stooge. I am so glad Gervais gave all there no respect. As in f-em. Anti-American turds.
The rotten dirty abortion gals, the LBGTXYZ gang, and fans and regulars at Epstein’s Pedo Island.
Trump bombed Salami Man, this gave Gervais the spirit to bomb Hollywood. Good on you Ricky! Loving this!
The dresses! J-Lo was re-enacting Scarlett o’Hara’s drapery scene from GWTW.
And the excessive boobery! Ladies (and I use the term loosely) we do not want to see your fake boobs.
Cook totally deserved it.
