Comedian Ricky Gervais opened the Golden Globes festivities by telling the audience of Hollywood celebrities not to make a political statement. He joked about them knowing nothing of the real world (the first clip).
The full scorched-earth monologue in the second clip below annihilated Hollywood as the Twitter user said. Gervais was joking but the only problem is the premise of everything he said is true. It’s funny!
‘If you do win an award don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, you’re in no position to lecture the public, you know nothing about the real world…Just accept your little award, thank your agent…and f*** off!’

Gervais was obviously paid very well and the Hollywood bubble knew it was coming. Tom Hanks knows that many of us know he’s no Mr. Rogers….sicko Hellywood got bored a long time ago just screwing around…
I’ve never heard of Gervais but he did bring it to them, full force. The looks on some, Tom Hanks and a couple others was worth the watch. There is one word left out above, “superficial”. Even the smiles of some were obviously contorted. It was the best entertainment in decades.
Brilliant!! Spot on!!
I don’t waste my time listening to a herd of self indulgent, supercilious, over paid and overwrought, neurotic pretentious narcissists congratulate themselves.
However, watching this clip was hilarious. Ricky Gervais summed up what Hollywood represents in 7 minutes.. The truth doesn’t always come dressed for dinner, but it came to this red carpet affair and pissed in their champagne. I’m not sure if he was serious but he certainly nailed their inflated egos to their ass. Kudos to Gervais who took on the pompous blowhards and blew them off like a hurricane of hilarity.
