In fact, his name has now become synonymous with his 2020 Golden Globes opening monologue, in which he openly roasted some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association itself.

Ahead of the 93rd Academy Awards on Sunday, Gervais took to Twitter to question why he wasn’t asked to join the festivities.

Throughout the monologue, Gervais noted that the gig would be his “last time” hosting, so he had no intention to pull his punches.

“‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ — nearly three hours long. Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere and by the end, his date was too old for him,” Gervais joked at the time.

The comedian recirculated the clip ahead of the 2021 Golden Globes earlier this year, once again sharing it on Twitter.
