The point is that Gervais isn't on some poltical rant, he's just poking fun at the Hollywood elite.

The only message is not to take these Hollywood celebrities and their nonsense too seriously in the first place.

^^^^ Funny how the only medals awarded to Hollywood actors are reserved for nutjobs like Jon Voight.

^^^^^This. It was satire pointed at the audience in the room. Period. Nobody is giving extra credibility to "conservative" entertainers, and I doubt Gervaise is "conservative". So stop with the hypocrisy LIBS.

I saw the youtube clip of gervais' opening monologue. he was funny, but it would have been more amusing to see the woke audience reactions.

for over a decade, I haven't watched a Hollywood award show on tv, attended many Hollywood movies in the theater because they are either comic books or left wing propaganda, or cared about actors' pontifications on any subject.

So, that's a "yes", then?
