Tom Hanks's reaction to Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais's opening monologue is perhaps the most succinct way to summarise the response to the comedian's jokes, which left even Brad Pitt looking a little uneasy. If youâve forgotten all this, itâs because the presence or otherwise of a host had little impact on the ultimate ceremonyâs most quoted and replayed moments: Olivia Colmanâs surprise win and endearingly flabbergasted speech, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gagaâs teasingly sexy rendition of best song winner Shallow or a dynamite one-off comic routine by first-up presenters Maya Rudolph, Fey and Poehler (how about that) that effectively functioned as a brief, zesty opening monologue.

The lightning-quick duoâs three-year Globes hosting stint from 2012 to 2014 was a remarkable high-wire achievement, at once warmly playing to the gallery and bluntly speaking truth to power â and in so doing, becoming the only major awards show hosts in the last decade to earn both glowing reviews the next morning and a cherished place in public memory. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/ZSdqiWMudx. Thatâs just the mood of the moment: at a particularly glum time for international news, with part of the world literally on fire and war with Iran looming, incendiary threat, itâs no surprise that sincere activism got a louder response than snarky âwhat are you gonna do about itâ apathy. While the host had preemptively admonished any winners for making political speeches in his intro â âYouâre in no position to lecture the public about anything, you know nothing about this real worldâ â his words went unheeded by many, whether it was an absent Russell Crowe sending a message about climate as evinced by the Australian fire crisis in his stead, an awkward but earnest Joaquin Phoenix imploring the industry to make environmentally-minded changes, or Patricia Arquette and Michelle Williams both using their platforms to take an early stand against Trump in the 2020 election, the latter via an impassioned feminist pro-choice plea.

Ricky Gervais shares his genius plans to mark The Office 20th anniversary It now falls on the witty, broadly beloved Graham Norton, finally hired for the Baftas after years of seeming the obvious man for the job, to make the case for âawards show hostâ as a viable job this season, though after general controversy over the British Academyâs diversity-challenged nominee slate this morning, he has an unenviable needle to thread on the jokes front. A Ricky Gervais Golden Globes performance in the age of cancel culture, he said, would be “the end of my career”. He is best known for co-creating, co-writing and acting in the British television mock-documentary sitcom The Office (2001–2003). Even Gervaisâs best, most pointed jabs â and there were a couple, whether he was bluntly calling Hollywood Foreign Press Association voters racist or impugning the industry for looking the other way with Harvey Weinstein â didnât elicit the usual gasps or whoops, though exhausted nods were plentiful.
