Ricky Gervais Banned From Golden Globes, Mission Accomplished |
Damn, if I had known he was that brutal I would have watched the Golden Globes.
His intro of Colin Farrell and mel Gibson was hilarious last year. |
I don't watch award shows, but I watched this one. I love RG.

If they did a poll of those that watched... I bet the show received high marks because of him. People need to stop taking themselves so seriously, they're not saving lives... they're making films and some really did suck. So, have some fun with it... you're all making crazy bank and this is one of a dozen or more shows in honor of your films. Get over it.

Great, great stuff, although the rehab/jail crack was unnecessarily mean spirited.
My favorite part is when Steve Carrell shoves him. |
Nobody deserves to have shit thrown at them like that crowd does.

On the flip side, here's Gervais being owned by Gary Shandling.

I know some people, other then the celebrities, got butt hurt over his comment at the end of the show where he thanked God for making him an atheist.

Like many, I only watched the Golden Globes to see Gervais rip people.
(Well, that, and all the hot actresses. Olivia Wilde, Kaley Cuoco, Natalie Portman, Halle Berry... nom nom nom nom!) I liked when he introduced the foreign film winner (or was it documentary?) by saying it was an award Americans didn't care about. And introduced Hanks and Allen by going on about "one is an Oscar winner, starred in such-and-such... and the other is Tim Allen." LMAO I think what ultimately cost him the gig (whether he was seriously trying to get banned or not) was his crack at the foreign press president (?) when he said he had to help the guy off the toilet and put his teeth in, and when the guy came out he said something to Ricky about "forget trying to get your films approved" or something, and the crowd went, "Oooooh." Because you could tell that guy was serious, and pissed. As for the Golden Globes and the foreign press... **** off. Gervais was absolutely right: they only do it to hobnob with famous people. I mean, come on... "The Tourist"? Really? Would that piece of shit be nominated by them if it didn't have foreign locations in it? SOME movie stars get it. Like DeNiro, in his rambling acceptance speech, where he thanked them for putting him up for that lifetime achievement award BEFORE "Little Fockers" came out. Most of them know when they're doing serious "ack-tour" work, and just bending over and vomiting out a role to make shitloads of money. The ones who take themselves too seriously need a reality check. |
I think his website is being flooded because I can't get to it, nor the blog on it mentioned here. Nothing a controversial comedian likes better than controversial attention, LOL. I think Gervais should date Kathy Griffin, they're made for each other.
http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainmen...zoTOoQotI41pCM Comedian Ricky Gervais says actors were not offended by his jokes at Golden Globes POST WIRE SERVICES Last Updated: 1:40 PM, January 18, 2011 Posted: 1:33 PM, January 18, 2011 Comedian Ricky Gervais said today he has proof that actors were not angry at him for making snarky remarks while hosting the Golden Globe Awards -- he was drinking and hanging out with a lot of them after the show. Two days after hosting the show, Gervais took to his blog to refute accusations that some people who attended the show were offended by his jokes. "All the same conspiracy theories as last year too... 'So and so was offended'... 'hasn't been invited back yet'... exactly the same as last time," wrote Gervais, who had also hosted the show last year. "'Paul McCartney was furious' ... no he wasn't. And nor was Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. I was drinking with them after," he continued. Writing on his blog, Gervais said he enjoyed his Golden Globes gig more this year than last year. “I think I had better gags,” he wrote. Those jokes included shots at Robert Downey Jr.’s stints in jail and rehab, Johnny Depp’s and Angelina Jolie’s widely panned film “The Tourist,” and Charlie Sheen’s hard-partying ways with hookers. While presenting an award, Downey commented, "Aside from the fact that it's been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister overtones, I'd say the vibe of the show is pretty good, wouldn't you?" In a statement issued this morning through a rep, Gervais said, "I did every single introduction I was meant to. There just happened to be a long gap. This is because I was allowed to choose who I would introduce in advance. I obviously chose presenters who I had the best jokes for. (And who I knew had a good sense of humor)." Philip Berk, the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which organizes the Golden Globes, said on Monday that the creator of “The Office” had “crossed the line." Berk refused to comment on whether Gervais would return as host next year. Gervais also said he was missing for an hour during the show because that's how it was planned -- prompting speculation that organizers decided to limit his time following his biting monologue. "Obviously the rumor that the organizers stopped me going out on stage for an hour is rubbish," he wrote. "I did every link I was scheduled to do. The reason why the gaps were uneven is because when I got the rundown I was allowed to choose who I presented to. I obviously chose the spots that I had the best gags for. They couldn't move around the order but I could move around however I wanted." |
I'm looking forward to hearing Dane's take on this.

I guess he was on CNN last night talking about the GG & the Hollywood reaction...anyone catch it?
