I loved the crowd reactions... some were totally, ‘how dare you!’ Making his point for him.

I didn't see much of that, mostly just discomfort or shock lol.

Tom Hanks' face at the very end was my favorite, I think... some shock, but also enjoyment.

Best 8 mins of TV I saw all day... Turned it off after the monologue.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

i cracked up when he didnt want to do the Judi Dench joke.

 

[ACamp1900]

Robert DeNiro deserves a little bit of credit. Many of the table pounders that everyone knows he was referring to were all indignant during the monologue. Robert just sat there with his usual smile and laughed at it all.

For those that missed it.

What a glorious TV moment. Too bad it wasn't eligible for a Golden Globe.

Shocked that some of these celebrities didn’t take his advice and leave their (super informed) political opinions out of their speeches.

More importantly did anyone see Salma Hayek? All awards should go to her in that outfit

Absolute gold

Hats off to Gervais. He roasted some of the worst people on the planet right to their faces.

I never watch the award shows, but it just happened to be turned to NBC after Sunday Night Football. I was pretty surprised Ricky made the comment, thought it was spot on, but wasn't expecting it to blow up like it has. I'm interested to see what celebs blast him for it.

Thank you sir..... I struggle with the pic uploading and such. Perfect outfit for my favorite actress to look at

Hats off to Gervais. He roasted some of the worst people on the planet right to their faces.

What I loved about it so much is that someone needed to do it, but there are very few people who have the opportunity to do something like that and actually hit their mark. Gervais is a Labour Party supporter, he is not a friend to conservatives. But being "one of the group" and having the balls to point out the rank hypocrisy of Hollywood progressives is something special. His delivery made it spectacular, and it's the main reason why the following happened:
1. Most progressive outlets have decided to just take it on the chin, with only a few (LA Times, Slate, etc.) being dumb enough to complain about what Gervais had to say. And when they did, they got dunked on a second time for missing the point.
2. The winners who were stupid enough to not realize the effect of the monologue then got exposed a second time for being tone deaf and out of touch as they went up there and pontificated.
3. The biggest Hollywood Twitter activists like Alyssa Milano, Rob Reiner, etc. have had no comment. Because how can you?

A few days or weeks from now, we will see those are secretly seething start to work behind the scenes against Gervais. He will be #cancelled at some point. But for a beautiful 8 minutes, Ricky Gervais got to go on national television and say what the vast majority of Americans believe.

Saw the LA Times reaction... good lord. "He attacked a group of people who are simply fighting to right the wrongs of the world...."
or some odd such. Just awful...

The groans in the background after he says Epstein didn’t kill himself are the worst.

Just check out the ratio on this tweet --

I almost feel bad for these types... how miserable do you have to be in life to view Hollywood elites like this and to think this way? Poor souls.

 

[PraetorianND]

Ricky Gervais should have ended his speech by saying that he was not at all suicidal (not sarcasm).

 

[ACamp1900]

Tom Hanks,... wtf happened to you, your ass used to be golden.

 

[BeauBenken]

So I just had to watch his monologue to see what the fuss was about. (Because who watches any of this crap? And who outside of Hollywood should really care?) Holy cow. Ricky Gervais, a man of the people.

I haven't watched any of these shows since high school... I do however have a family friend that watches them constantly and hosts viewing parties and such. She's special.

The Golden Globes are the best! ....I love those Globes

Thank you Ricky, and thank you Salma.
Both epic in their own ways....
