Ricky Gervais’ opening speech for Golden Globes was as offensively brilliant

Inside Out won the best motion picture, animated and Son of Saul won the best foreign language film.

He also introduced the first presenters Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill and questioned why there were in the Golden Globes when they have never won.

Jewish nominees who received Golden Globe Awards on Sunday include Aaron Sorkin in the Best Screenplay category for the film “Steve Jobs”, and Rachel Bloom for Best Actress in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”, which she also co-created.

“It is time that we recognise your history and that we protect your indigenous lands from corporate interests”, said DiCaprio.

In fact, although the total-viewer estimates won’t be released until later today, early reports indicate that last night’s broadcast was up in the ratings from 2015’s ceremony. But the censors left the audience wondering, what did host Ricky Gervais say to Mel Gibson as the two exchanged profanity-laced jabs onstage?

Among the traditional networks, Comcast’s USA Network proved there is still some life on cable as its breakout series “Mr. Robot” took Best Drama and Best Supporting Actor in A Drama (Christian Slater). Innaritu’s last film “Birdman” was a favorite in the Oscars, winning four Oscars including “Best Picture” and “Best Director” so this give “The Revenant” a big chance in the Oscars.

Brie Larson (Room) won the best actress, drama (Room), over Cate Blanchett (Carol), Rooney Mara (Carol), Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn) and Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl).

This advantage has fared much better for the leading ladies – in the past 25 years, 88% of the GG winners for Best Actress later went on to win Oscars that same year!

Sylvester Stallone won best supporting actor for the “Rocky” sequel-reboot “Creed”.

“Mad Men”‘s Jon Hamm won best TV dramatic actor prize.

Denzel Washington was awarded the Cecil B Demille Award, the Globes’ lifetime-achievement prize. The first season was nominated for multiple Golden Globes, but it didn’t end up taking home a single one. “The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press said if I say anything offensive, or crass, or resort to innuendo, he’s going to personally come out here and ‘pull me off, ‘” Gervais said.

Amazon’s “Mozart in the Jungle” won best comedy and Gael García Bernal won best comedic actor.
