Ricky Gervais Roasts Everyone at the Golden Globes
If Ricky Gervais were an eBay purchase, I would respond to his sale with A++++++ WOULD DO BUSINESS AGAIN. Hollywood, though, is not so pleased.
Assuming you didn’t fall into some sort of time portal which threw you into pre-Civil War era Alabama this weekend, you probably heard about the Golden Globe speech heard ’round the world by British funny man Ricky Gervais. His monologue-gone-wrong threw jabs at every A-list celebrity in the house, and some were particularly, how-shall-we-say… shocking. So bad, in fact, that a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association says that not only will Ricky never be allowed at the Globes again, any movie he stars in can “forget about getting nominated. He humiliated the organization last night and went too far with several celebrities whose representatives have already called to complain.” YEESH.
While nearly every organization asked to comment on the debacle said that Gervais definitely crossed the line, the HFPA released a statement adding “overall, however, the show was among the best we’ve ever had and we were pleased.”
Check out the video above for some of Ricky’s greatest jabs of the night. We say GOOD FOR YOU, RICKY, for making one of the most boring nights in television actually worth watching. BRAVO!
