No one sitting in the Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom was safe from Gervais' signature, skewering wit.

Ricky Gervais returned for his fifth Golden Globes hosting stint Sunday, and no one sitting in the Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom was safe from his signature, skewering wit.The Office and Extras star kicked off the 77th annual awards ceremony with quips that included:* “We were going to do an In Memoriam this year but when I saw the list of people who’d died, it wasn’t diverse enough.”

* On the long running time of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: “Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere, and by the end, his date was too old for him.” * On the hypocritical nature of “woke” celebrities working for companies that do not-great-for-humanity things: “If ISIS started a streaming service, you’d call your agent.” He also noted that most of the audience was very removed from the real world and likely had spent less time in high school than teen climate activist Greta Thunberg.
