If you've never seen Mr Gervais' performance (as host) of the 2020 Golden Globe Awards, it's well worth the nearly eight minutes. IMHO this was EPIC !! Pay attention to the faces on the "stars" as Gervais makes them squirm repeatedly throughout, calling them pedophiles, saying Jeffrey Epstein is their friend, etc.

I watched it live as it happened.
So did I - not really understanding just how epic it was (with respect to the pedophilia comments), but with Epstein and some of the other barbs he threw my mouth dropped open, thinking "damn, he went there...". (I hadn't heard of Q/GAW until much later that year). Watching the PedoWood crowd squirm was great, too. Several of them looked like they wanted to crawl under the tables. Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, others. Gervais slammed Tim Cook, too. All while smiling and telling them to have fun.
Epic. I watch this over again every time someone brings it up. This is so good to share this tweet from the man himself - I've never seen this picture before. Thanks, OP.
I have to say, I enjoy it much, much more now that I understand all the background.
Just curious -- were you already aware of Q at the time? What were your impressions when you first watched it (live)?
BTW, "If you've never seen... " was geared towards newbies. I know you've been here for a long time and I assume most old-timers have watched the Gervais performance before.
