British comedian Ricky Gervais hosted the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards tonight, and he tore into Hollywood while he was at it.
Gervais informed the millions of viewers watching around the world that the room filled with A-list actors and corporate moguls were in no position to lecture the country on politics, or anything else for that matter. He was speaking to the likes of Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tom Hanks, Al Pacino, and Leonardo DiCaprio, to name a few. He said:
“So, if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. 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. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award. Thank your agent and your god, and f*** off!”
Gervais didn’t spare the so-called “woke” corporations either, as he took aim at the business practices of several entertainment giants, saying:
“…you say you’re woke but the companies you work for…Apple, Amazon, Disney…if ISIS started a streaming service you’d call your agent, wouldn’t you?”
The star of the UK version of the series, “The Office” even dropped an “Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself” line, quipping:
“Spoiler alert, season two [of “After Life”] is on the way. So, in the end, he obviously didn’t kill himself. Just like Jeffrey Epstein. Shut up, I know he’s your friend but I don’t care.”
