Ricky Gervais' profanity-heavy monologue included jokes about actors being hypocrites and GoldenGlobes voters being racist.
The HFPA shouldn't have been too surprised. The last time Gervais hosted, in 2016, he outraged with a suggestion that while Caitlyn Jenner had"shown great bravery" in openly transitioning from a man to a woman,"she didn't do a lot for women drivers” — a reference to the former Olympian’s involvement in a fatal car collision that left another woman dead.
And just two weeks ago, Gervais came under fire for several tweets that he insisted were jokes, but were viewed as transphobic by critics. The pick was even more questionable because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association tapped Sandra Oh as co-host last year with Andy Samberg. The actress was the first Asian American woman to host the telecast in what was applauded at the time as a move towards more inclusion.
On Sunday, Gervais took a jab at actors for working for companies with questionable morals, including Apple, Amazon and Disney, saying they had no right to make political speeches when accepting their awards.“If you win an award, don’t make your little political speech. No one cares. You know nothing. Say thank you to your agent and get the f--- off stage."
