Opening monologues are central to any award show. It is in the monologue that the host often pokes fun at the guests and when it comes to the English stand-up comic Ricky Gervais, you can expect the jokes to be brutally honest, borderline offensive that will have you laughing till your stomach hurts.
The host started with poking fun at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). He then went on to take jibes at controversial figures Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein. He also offered a nuanced take on racism in Hollywood.
Gervais then took a dig at the tech giant Apple for ‘running sweatshops in China’, while talking about their new show. The TV personality ended his monologue by asking the stars not to give political speeches as they have spent ‘less time in school than Greta Thunberg’.
No points for guessing Gervais owned the night.
