Ricky Gervais Gives Not One F— in His Opening Monologue

It was his fifth time hosting, and Ricky Gervais hit the stage with guns blazing, taking aim at the HFPA, NBC,, and many of the guests assembled for the awards ceremony.Felicity Huffman

“Let’s go out with a bang. Let’s have a laugh at your expense,” he warned, then said that his limo’s license plate was made by Huffman, who served 11 days in jail for her role in the college admissions scandal. Tepid laughter and uncomfortable smiles everywhere.

He called“Baby Yoda” and the room generally “perverts,” suggesting that Ronan Farrow was coming for them. He said thatwas too short to go on amusement park rides, whichThe Irishman?director?agreed with.Joe PesciMartin Scorsese

Tom Hanks’ face during the monologue was everything.

Gervais?plugged his own streaming show,?on Netflix, after offering the streaming giant all the awards. Gervais attacked, of course, saying thatis a fat pussy (and also starring in the film) and Damelikes licking her private parts, which he followed with a hairball joke. He paused midway through that last joke because it was so rough?he?almost couldn’t deliver it.After LifeCatsJames CordenJudi Dench

He accused Apple of running sweatshops in China and name-checked Amazon and Disney in the same breath along with ISIS. His point: winners should keep their speeches short, because out-of-touch actors and filmmakers have no business lecturing the public about politics (which many actors and filmmakers, of course, went on to do later in the program – moments which you can find online but which we’ve left out here).

“This is thanks to God and Hulu. Look, I know you guys haven’t seen my show. Everyone’s like, ‘Is this an editor?’” Youssef joked, in an earnest speech that helped cut the tension in the room. “My Mom also, by the way, was rooting for?. Egyptians love Michael Douglas. I don’t know if you know this.”Michael Douglas

Crowe hadn’t flown in for the event. Aniston noted that he remained in Australia to protect his family from bushfires and delivered a message from him attributing the devastation in his country to climate change.

ParasiteDirector Bong Joon-ho Makes a Case for Foreign-Language Films

In a night full of surprises, one of the least shocking moments came when Korea’swas named Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language. The movie,, was as sure a thing as you could get. Nevertheless, the win did give us a surprisingly touching moment (at least if you haven’t seen moment-making writer-directoron stage before). Joon-ho took the stage with a translator and delivered one of the biggest applause lines of the night, telling the audience and the world watching: “Once you overcome the one-inch–tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” On a night when foreign-language film contenders included incredible movies likePain and Glory,Portrait of a Lady On Fire,The Farewell,Les Misérables, and his ownParasite, the point hit home.Parasitewhich is an Oscar frontrunner for Best PictureBong Joon-ho

Buzz, Woody, and the Gang Just Got Put Back In Their Box

“Well, I’m flabbergasted,” admittedco-director Chris Butler when he accepted the award for Best Feature – Animated with co-director Arianne Sutner. So were we. This was’s award to lose: The Certified Fresh Pixar sequel is considered a lock for the Oscar in the category, and was a huge smash with audiences and critics. But it was the underseenMissing Link, the stop-motion Big Foot movie fromKubo and the Two Strings?andCoralinestudio Laika, that won the Golden Globe and made this year’s animation races a touch more exciting moving forward.Missing LinkToy Story 4

Tom Hanks?Doesn’t Usually Get This Emotional, He Swears

Tom Hanks proved why he’s the most liked person in Hollywood (the world?), delivering one of the night’s most moving speeches while receiving the Cecil B. DeMille award fromfor “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.” Hanks started things off emotionally, struggling to speak as he shouted out his wife and five kids, then delivered some laughs (to Scorsese: “Boy, let’s see the outtakes fromthatmovie, by the way”), before closing with a few more almost-tears (“I have checked the gate”). “I swear to God I’m not nearly this emotional at home,” he said at one point. We’re glad he let himself go this time.Charlize Theron

President Barack Obama Is?on Fleabag’s Naughty List

In her acceptance speech for?Fleabag’s win for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, series creator Waller-Bridge reminded everyone that she’s as much of a fan of President Barack Obama as he is of her show.

“Personally, I’d like to also thank Obama for putting us on his list,” Waller-Bridge said, referring to the president’s end-of-the year list. “And as some of you may know, he’s always been on mine. And if you don’t get that joke, please watch season 1 of?Fleabag?really, really quickly.”

1917?Shakes Up Awards Season With Two?Jaw-Dropping?Wins

There was no direction needed for Sam Mendes to act genuinely shocked after winning Best Director – Motion Picture for:?he was visibly shook. So was much of the room, who were likely expecting Quentin Tarantino, Bong Joon-ho, or the man Mendes himself said in his speech stands above all others, Martin Scorsese, to take the prize. Mendes’ win for Best Director was only the beginning of a surprisingly good night for his WWI drama. The movie would go on to win for Best Motion Picture – Drama, too, beating outThe Irishman?and?Marriage Story. Opening wide in theaters next week, a strong showing at the Box Office could put the film in the frontrunner seat for Best Picture at the Oscars.

And… Olivia Got “A Little?Boozy,” Again

After confessing she got “bladdered” at last year’s Oscars, Olivia Colman confessed – on stage – she was “a bit boozy” tonight when she won her award for Best Performance By An Actress In a Television Series – Drama for?The Crown.?We thank her for the helpful reminder – on behalf of a number of presenters and recipients this evening – the booze was flowing in the ballroom.
