Comedian Ricky Gervais took aim at celebrities using their acceptance speeches at the Grammy Awards to weigh in on politics on Sunday, referencing a moment from his famous monologue castigating celebrity navel-gazing.
Gervais posted an image of a quote from his Golden Globes routine in 2020, where he unloaded on Hollywood.
