Ricky Gervais Opens Golden Globes By Telling Woke Hollywood To Skip The Lectures
Deadline ^ | January 5, 2020 | Greg Evans

Posted on 01/05/2020 5:50:25 PM PST by EdnaMode

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

Wasn't going to watch any of this, but will definitely want to watch Gervais' speech later. Awesome that he called them out for their hypocrisy!

That's going to leave a mark.

According to another post, he basically said Epstein didn’t kill himself, the audience groaned, and he said, “Sorry, I know he was friends with most of you.”

Alysa Milano was heard to exclaim: "HOW DARE YOU?!?"

I had to call a friend at the end speech because I couldn’t believe the words coming out of his mouth.

People in the audience looked pissed. Here is a link to the livestream of the show. Skip over all the Red Carpet interview to the beginning of the show.

@rickygervais: “In the end, he obviously didn’t kill himself, just like Jeffrey Epstein.”

*Hollywood audience groans*

“Shut up. I know he’s your friend, but I don’t care. You’ll have to make your own way here in your own plane.”

Gervais, the pompous atheist calling anyone out for anything? That is rich! He is a proud pompous jackass with no class and no taste for anything worthwhile in life. He is a perfect match for the clowns he associates with.
