Felicity Huffman, Cats, Joe Pesci, the Catholic Church, Judi Dench and James Corden got the Ricky Gervais treatment during the opening monologue of tonights Golden Globe Awards, but none took the brunt of the hosts 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.
Youre in no position to lecture the public about anything, Gervais cautioned. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.
Apple TVs woke The Morning Show, Gervais said, was made by a company that runs sweat shops in China.
Individual stars didnt 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

Jennifer Anniston lectured about the climate, ditziest.
Sorry, I know he was friends with most of you.
Outrageous and scathing.
This is likely his last awards show.
But he will have a showbiz career for the rest of his life.
Brilliant comedy.
Yep. They're all sitting there with their bottles of Moët champaign scowling!
Why do we have to analyse or tear apart anyone that makes a statement that, at least for the time and place, was appropriate? :)
Who the hell cares what he thinks outside of this?
It was funny.
Are you sure you’re a Fungi? :)

>>According to another post, he basically said Epstein didnt kill himself, the audience groaned, and he said, Sorry, I know he was friends with most of you.<<
Ha! I love it!
Doh!
He’s such a FRAUD.
I am 60 years old. What the foke does “woke” mean?
He let them have it. Sitting their in their smug little faces.
“...the notoriously scathing British comic advised Golden Globe winners to skip the moralizing....”
Nobody can give a good ass chewing in English than the Brits!
I am recording it solely for this! OMG Im literally crying laughing! FWIW his show Afterlife was very good. Hes truly one of a kind. Oh this is wonderful. Cant wait to watch it now. According to the article he didnt disappoint!
LOL!
Perfect.
Tom Hanks looked like he was about to get up and slap him...
Ricky understands that Prince Andrew hobnobbed regularly with Epstein and Prince Harry is wedded to a daughter of Hollywood’s royalty. Not that I imagine he is any fan of the royal family, but he sees the stock a lot of naive Britons put in them and how the latest generation of them is hopelessly entangled with such a corrosive body as Hollywood elites. He knows all the phoniness, hypocrisy, and predatory behavior (and not just sexual) that those vultures thrive upon. They’ll listen to him in a way they’d never listen to any of us. Good on him for calling them out.
I don’t watch this sort of thing on television, but it would be useful if you’d give us a point in the video where he begins.
He’s the best
Simply, that you’re awake to how terrible America is and all the things that made it great.
The usual nonsense, now encompassed by the Millennials under the term “woke.”
