Comedian Ricky Gervais reposted his viral monologue from the 2020 Golden Globe Awards where he slammed Hollywood, and suggested that his remarks were the reason that he was not invited to this year’s Academy Awards.
“It’s The Oscars tonight!” Gervais wrote on social media. “I wasn’t invited. Was it something I said?”
Included in the tweet was a video of the more than seven-minute rant where Gervais unloaded on Hollywood over a wide range of issues from cancel culture to mocking celebrities, highlighting Hollywood sex scandals, slamming woke companies, and saying that most in attendance “spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.”
Notable figures weighed in after Gervais re-shared the clip with many saying it was one of the greatest moments ever at an awards show.
“The best 7minutes and 50 seconds I will ever see in my life. This is the bravest opening to an awards ceremony ever. Even on my third watch I’m howling. Parody. Satire. P**s take level is through the rough. No f***s given by.“
“Greatest Oscar speech of all time. Real comedy. Skewering powerful. Tom Hanks was pissed.”
“Still the single greatest awards show monologue of all time” said Ben Shapiro.
“Watched at least a 100 times and still puts a smile on my face.”
“One of the most epic Oscar moments.”
