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

Sourpuss reaction shots to that monologue.
See post 81
Yes, that is what made it perfect.
Ricky did not kill himself.
Funny in what way?
Did you see Tom Hanks wife, Rita whatshername, drowining herself in more Moet as the scathing jokes flowed?
The replay (twitter link of entire monologue is posted upthread) is well worth the watch.
Woke to the fact that America is evil and must be destroyed
That men are evil and must be marginalized with women in control of everything
That white people are evil and must be eliminated from power and wealth. All of their assets must be returned to minorities from whom it was stolen.
Everyone must become gay whether you like it or not.
Mentally disabled people must be exalted
The highest pinnacle of the social order is to be homeless and hooked on drugs.
Basically woke means you have lost all of your mental capacity and have become a Democrat and now rely on Hollywood actors to provide you with your opinions. ( not sarcasm)
You could see DeNiro wanted to run up and punch him in the face. Tim Cook, also priceless before-and-after face.
I gave the rest of the show a peak, and didn't last 8 seconds. No re-ride.
In my last post I neglected to get in a discussion of environmental issues especially global warming.
Like a clown? Does he amuse you?
Hilarious!
He also digs at their plant/vegan dinner..
The meal tonight was all vegetables, as are all of the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press.”
We need a transcript.....the entire monologue was hilarious and spot on.
Ricky took no prisoners, tonight.
Gervais might be bulletproof enough to survive it.
" So you say youre 'woke', but the companies you work for, Apple, Amazon, Disney... If ISIS had a streaming service you would be calling your agents."
Never heard of the man before, but I think I might like him@rickygervais #goldenglobes2020

This was good too...
“If ISIS started a streaming service youd call your agent, wouldnt you?”
>>Everyone must become gay whether you like it or not.
Today’s Left will tell you that is ‘not possible’ but both the Weathermen and Jim Jones’ People’s Temple used homosexual sodomy to break down the men. “Smash monogamy” “Smash the patriarchy”.
My favorite line (regarding re-makes and superhero movies):
"... fantasy and adventure nonsense. They wear masks, and capes, and reaaally tight costumes. Their job isn't acting anymore; it's going to the gymn twice a day and taking steroids, really. (looks offstage) Have we got an award for the 'most ripped junkie?"
This had to happen.
