"Let's have a laugh at your expense," Gervais said, and then delivered in "Savage" manner, as Caleb Hull says.
Gervais kicks it off with a Felicity Huffman joke, but then cuts a lot closer to the bone when it comes to Hollywood political hypocrisy.
Gervais tore into Apple, which recently started a streaming service with original content, for employing "Sweatshops in China" while producing a series that lectures people on doing the right thing.
Apple, Amazon, Disney - if ISIS started a streaming service, you'd call your agent, wouldn't you? So if you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech, all right? You're in no position to lecture the public about anything.
The audience even reacted reasonably well to it, although the reaction shots show plenty of discomfort as Gervais hits a little too close to home.
Speaking of savage, Gervais kept it up to the bitter end.
Sounds as if the producers wished Phoenix had taken Gervais' advice and [expletive] right off the stage.
