Exactly. I don't know anyone who looks to actors or singers for political advice, but somehow they keep giving it.

Well we know who won’t be asked back next year! Talk about stepping on toes which is what needed to be done. The crowd in Hollywood think they are untouchable such as those in Washington. All they need was Greta Thunberg to say her spill about climate change. Oh wait...she’s on a hiatus. Thank goodness

Don't know much about this guy, but I like him.

Yeah, I'm sure that these airheads and ego monsters took what Gervais said seriously -- NOT! I really have no use for television awards shows who pump up the egos of these airheads bigger.

@ 7:28pm - “spiel” not “spill”

Hell, I don’t look to politicians or athletes for political advice either.

8:51 - yeah, that climate change stuff is a bunch of crap.

Don't worry, Ricky will be back next year, and the next . . .

He brings in the eyeballs.

Hey, anyone been to Chuckles? They have Jon Lovitz coming in.

Is this guy for real? Is this a comedy act or is he really poking these people in the eye?

I believe what he said, did he say it to be believable or was there a purpose benefitting the people who got poked in him doing this.

Can the resident philosopher analyze this an report?

Anybody?

Sadly, and alarmingly, when he said 'just accept your damn award, thank a few people and Fuck-Off...nobody cares what you think or what your politics are', he got a loud round of applause and laughter....from those who actually spout their bullshit political philosophies while holding onto their trophy with one hand and their crotch with the other. He was serious and it whizzed right through one ear and out the other of everybody who was their sipping wine.

For those that dont know Ricky Gervais, he created the UK TV series The Office that was adapted to the US and he has another great series called An Idiot Abroad where he sends his friend Karl Pilkington around the world and record his xenophobic reactions to his experiences.

I agree with 9:55.

Hollywood has taken a lot of heat for their politics and some might have decided to stage this in order for the rest of us to have a laugh.

I don't believe for a second it was unplanned.

@9:55
He didn't sacrifice any sacred cows. He didn't name any names of well known Hollywood pedophiles that the media is covering up.

I'm sure he was just taking the piss as the English would say. He also didn't mention the secret Scientology prisons either.

So he won't be suicided.

If he didn't call them all narcissistic semitic moloch worshipping child molesters then he didn't say anything that would ruin his career.

The last Hollywood award show I watched was when Judy Garland won an Oscar for The Wizard of Oz!!!

Those in Hollywood have just as much right to an opinion as any of you.
And, their ability to influence anyone is about as likely.
The only difference, is that some of them can come up with a better script and their tone and diction is better.

Exactly. I don't know anyone who looks to actors or singers for political advice, but somehow they keep giving it.

Yeah, makes you wonder how we ended up electing a bankrupt host of a reality TV show to be the President of this country in 2016?

SO...9:32 corrects the word usage of 7:28 but no such word appears in the post by 7:28. 9:32, while attempting to correct 8:51, corrected the wrong person. Classic.

What shocked me was Brad Pitt could mingle with 3 ex-wifes, ex-girlfriend & still attend the event. Emcee Ricky Gervais did nail CATS in spiel that one cat licked herself in the jojo.

I think we’ve learned by now that the only people gullible enough to think bad actors should be in politics are the boomers.

jojo? That's a new one.
