Below is the transcript taken from the 2020 Golden Globe Awards presenter Ricky Gervais. Being a strong fan of the scepticism and critique Ricky can produce spot on (albeit sometimes rigorously harsh), this one hit me flat in the face. The media is always full of actors talking ‘against’ injustice, but they are strongly responsible for the actual injustice done by the business supporting companies.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ricky Gervais:<\/em><\/p>\n “Apple roared into the TV game with\u00a0<\/span><\/em>The Morning Show,\u00a0<\/span>a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweatshops in China. Well, you say you\u2019re woke but the companies you work for in China \u2014 unbelievable. Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service you\u2019d call your agent, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/em><\/p>\n So if you do win an award tonight, don\u2019t use it as a platform to make a political speech.\u00a0<\/em>You\u2019re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
