British comedian Ricky Gervais response to negative reaction from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and some critics to his take-no-prisoners comedic stylings at Sunday night’s Golden Globes. The said “they knew what they were getting,” and harsly he skewered some of the town’s biggest sacred cows with some pointed jabs at the awards show.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the comedian said in a statement, “Everyone took it well.” This message is against such targets as the president of the HFPA and actors Robert Downey Jr., Tim Allen and Steve Carrell. “And the atmosphere backstage and at the after show was great.”
Despite his assessment, even during the show his sharply worded introductions and opening monologue appeared to rub some of the stars the wrong way. Following Gervais’ quips about Downey Jr.’s troubled past and trips to rehab and jail, the “Iron Man” star took the stage and labeled the show “hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones,” with a tight smile on his face.
