Awesome. Who knows how sincere that opening speech was but I hope it sent all those vile hollyweird preachers home with a flea in their ear. How many limos did they use, how many private jets did they use?? All the while these bunch of shisters lecture us joe public about how to live our lives while they live in gated mansions and own properties all over the world. Trump should've droned that theatre instead of that Iranian general.

He's very good but ruins it a bit by saying 'oh who cares' etc.
Makes him seem a little cringey and like he's trying a little too hard.

nah, I'm not having it, its like shooting fish in a barrel, hollywood is full of fucking idiots and weirdos, calling them out is easy money for Gervais. lets be honest, we love hollywood but they've all got mental issues, Gervais ought to be ashamed of himself.

Isn’t this just a cynical attempt by Gervais to boost his popularity in Yanksville, now his tenure at the Globes has come to an end. He’s just becoming his alter ego Dave Brent...

He’s just becoming his alter ego Dave Brent... I'm sure you're right. Whether it's his last appearance remains to be seen, I think that was nothing more than an attempt to give the performance some background. If they get him to come back again, then the ratings would go through the roof and he would be able to command a huge fee. It would be a difficult act to follow in the short term as he will risk becoming a one trick pony. How this plays out will be interesting, he's certainly increased his profile (which was pretty big in the US already), but he also bit the hand that feeds him which makes me think there was an element of sincerity in his monologue too.

It's nothing Ben Elton has not done 25yrs ago. Although I did like Afterlife.

To be fair he’s been just as biting the previous 4 times. Only this one slightly more political. They know what they were getting when they hired him and his monologue was pre-approved

hypocritical twat having a go at fellow entertainers when he loves the limelight just as much as they do and is far too smug for his own good.

When has Ricky Gervais ever come out with the kind of woke bollocks we regularly see at these award evenings? From what I've seen, his main gripes on social media seem to be about the liberal left's problem with freedom of speech and cruelty to animals.

I see where your coming from dave but surely criticism of the hollywood thing would be more authentic coming from someone isn't part of the whole acting charade and who isn't collecting a big fat fee for being there. He's been happy to accept plenty of awards himself in the past has he not?

I'm in favour of the whole "woke bollocks" being called out, and agree smug award ceremonies for actors are ripe for shredding, i just think that accepting their dollar to do so, and accepting awards when they are presented to yourself, makes you a hypocrite. He's been happy to play their game for years, he's part of the problem in my eyes. Liking your avatar by the way
