Golden Globes.

He's probably hated by half the people on here, but this is hilarious.

Have thought that a few times though.

Nice to see someone pointing out some of the absolute absurdities of Hollywood life right to their faces.

It’s about time someone told that lot how self absorbed their relatively ignorant speeches make them sound.

Is it just me who finds it a touch ironic that a very rich person is using his platform to tell other very rich people not to get all political?

Not to mention the people of twitter expressing an unsolicited opinion about how great it is that Gervais is telling those actor types to keep their unsolicited opinions to themselves.

Bloody funny speech though, I enjoyed it.

I am sure they know by now what they are getting. Someone pays him (presumably pretty well) to be outrageous and it obviously has the desired effect for all concerned.

Context helps. He was referring specifically to Apple there, and he had a good point.

Gervais doesn't pretend to care about things whilst also screwing over sweatshop workers - to my knowledge.

Comedy roasts are a big thing in the US; not so much over here.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roast_Battle is a recent relatively-feeble British equivalent)

Yeah I know that.

I've just seen a fair bit of reaction along the lines of "Yeah! You tell 'em Ricky! It's about time someone said this shit"
