No Prisoners Taken as Ricky Gervais Roasts Hollywood

Not so politically correct comedian Ricky Gervais roasted Hollywood big time at the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards.

Zip rarely covers anything to do with awards, but Gervais tearing into the industry and its seamy underbelly is pretty unforgettable.

Hollywood probably wasn’t surprised though, it was the British funny man’s fifth time hosting the gig and he’s known for not holding back.

If you haven’t seen his introduction of the night check out a summary of his speech above or listen to it in full further below.

It’s brutal. It’s honest. It’s often laugh out loud.

It probably also left a few pampered stars and industry executives feeling uncomfortable with many lines highlighting Hollywood hypocrisy, especially as he concluded his monologue.

“Apple roared into the TV game with The Morning Show, a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweatshops in China. Well, you say you’re woke but the companies you work for in China — unbelievable,” he said. “Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service you’d call your agent, wouldn’t you?

“So, if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.

“So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your God and fuck off, OK? It’s already three hours long. Right, let’s do the first award.”
