This is the relevant video: Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes 2016
There are several parts where he hinted at Hollywood's degeneracy, and while there is a potential for confirmation bias on my part, there seems to be too many hints to be mere coincidences. I list the interesting parts of the video below:
-
(00:30) calling them "disgusting pill-popping sexually deviant scum"
-
(02:25) talking about being jacked off by an old man
-
(03:37) showing (by eliciting great laughter) that golden globes are acquired through bribing
-
(04:18) mentioning Polanski's pedophilia, surprising the audience and spurring nervous laughter accompanied by Maggie Gyllenhaal's facial expression of something along the lines of "you're stepping into deep water"
-
(12:50) introducing Mel Gibson who is /ourguy/, and hugging him, making Mel the only person he actually greeted on that stage
-
(14:35) saying goodbye by saying "From myself and Mel Gibson, shalom!"
He is of course saying all of the things jokingly, so it is very possible that I am reading too much into it.

Ricky G is from a rough area in Reading a very working class background... seems very English to me..... he is mega rich as he writes his own comedy with the tall bloke and US TV studios would have to pay rights to him for The Office
