The 58-year-old former Golden Globe winner (“The Office”) and five-time host also flippantly reminded the packed room that, “No one cares about movies anymore,” and advised, “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.” He should have said no one cares about you or your garbage ideas against the president.
Trump-hater and hard-to-look-at Meryl Streep shook her tiny little head. Eddie Murphy who didn’t get it refused to smile. Quentin Tarantino looked more disturbed than usual.
And because the entertainment media is filled with sycophants, rather than praise Gervais for having the courage to speak truth to the power in the room, for bringing back a sense of old-fashioned class and style, for pricking the pompous, these media suck-ups are all siding with the humorless celebrity prigs.
