Ricky Gervais' 9 Best Roasts At Golden Globes 2020
3. Lack Of Diversity
This year's Golden Globes has fallen under scrutiny for its lack of diversity in the films nominated. This year's biggest talking point being the lack of female directors in the best director category. An issue that has been at the forefront of Hollywood discussions for a long time now, the Golden Globes has proven once again a culprit in misrepresentation.
Gervais honed in on this early on. "Many talented people of colour were snubbed in major categories. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that. The Hollywood Foreign Press are all very very racist." Ricky then continues to sarcastically virtue signal: "We were going to do an in memoriam this year but when I saw the list of people who had died, it wasn't diverse enough, it was mostly white people, and I thought, nah, not on my watch."
Naomi Watts looked to the camera laughing, and we are all trying to work out if it was awkward or not.
