“If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.”
Ricky Gervais, Opening Monologue, Golden Globes, January 5, 2019
Comedian Ricky Gervais scorches Hollywood in his opening monologue at the Golden Globe Awards. As he indicates, this will doubtless be the last time that he hosts a Hollywood award show. Watch it and especially the last minute.
Great finish….”don’t do your little preaching ect”…..it’s about time!
No “industry” gives itself more awards than entertainment. These programs, which I ignore, are the game of television in January and February. Therefore, I found better stuff to watch on YouTube, like trains, Country balls, etc.
Have they ever not given an award due to lack of sufficient quality in a category? if so, and they were truthful, we’d be watching rerun’s of old “Dagwood” movies at that time, instead of this rancid annual display of hyper-narcissistic self-indulgence for engaging in making dark, dirty, and depressing films.
God bless Ricky! His line about ISIS was spot on. My favorite part was watching how uncomfortable woke celebrities like Tom Hanks were as they watched him. Well done.
Hollywood = Narcissists.
Actors & actresses are paid to entertain by pretending to be who they aren’t, NOT to tell us what’s in the vacuum between their ears, for that we already know: NOTHING.
I’m reminded of a remark by the Babe to the Red Sox owner, theatre magnate Frazee in a salary dispute; “What the f…. do I care about a bunch of f…..g actors!”
Hollywood actors, they love trowing each other flowers. The awards on the boobs parade.
A bit off topic, but where did these weird, mean looking icons next to commenters’ names come from?
We have been correcting technical problems today. Hopefully the icons are only temporary. We live in a time of technical wonders. (When they work!)
I sorta kinda mebbe like the icons.
The only readon I commented is to see what kind of icon I get.
Thank you.
Great swansong for Ricky Gervais. Truth is always appeals. And a great funeral oration, too. I like it that so many watched it. Liberalism is on the run, i.e., dead folks walking.

Amen Michael Dowd.
On the run.
The Light will overcome the darkness. It’s only a matter of time.
Some will, even in the end, choose the darkness over the Light….sorry lot.
Funny? For sure. Off color? Hello rainbow. But be careful adoring this, since like any good parody, up is down, big is small, and no is yes (in their bubble world). And everyone knows Ricky is the self-absorbed leading man for the movie: Mr. Atheist.
The moment is what the moment is. Gervais has a history of going against the thought control of political correctness.
*cackles* Just like Epstein didn’t kill himself… shut up, I know he’s your friend, but-
*cackles*
If you get a chance, look for the photo of the guy who was the villain for Star Wars.
Dude’s a Marine, was infantry; he looks like he was giggling as much as I am.
Bit off topic, but do you thin he does the GEICO Gecko voice?
