The camera views do indicate something, and possibly that the producers knew what was coming. If the Hollywood elites who attend these things recognize it wasn't a host going rogue, the show may have cooked its own goose. The Hollywood elites know media, and will easily be able to figure it out. The cameras went right for targets of jokes right as they were told during a fast talking monologue. I doubt that doesn't happen effectively without some planning and being in on it. | |||

They indicate nothing. The cameras were simply hitting big names in the audience, like they would have regardless what was said in the monologue. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

That’s exactly my point. The producers knew it was coming knew the reaction, had the cameras ready and changed to those cameras. I am not saying the Hollywood elites knew it was coming. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

The producers could have went to commercial or just stayed focused on Ricky, but to show the reactions is great for ratings. I still say it was all part of the planned show. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Nah, that wasn't "part of the show." Have you guys ever seen an awards show before? Hell, there's footage of Obama roasting Donald Trump at a White House correspondent's dinner or whatever and a cameraman zooming in on Trump just grinning right back at him. All part of the plan, right? They have cameramen on every table to get reaction shots. They've been doing this longer than some of us have been alive. And no, these days, nobody just cuts to commercial break, especially not for such a "big event." Loosen the tinfoil, guys.  ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

My guess is the producers sat and met with Gervais to discuss his topics. He didn't deliver his full set to them, but told them who he'd talk about, and the nature of the jokes. For example, they allowed an Epstein joke, but they may have disallowed other topics that we didn't hear. I think some of this was surprising and scathing, but in part it is theater. Everyone is talking about it - it's made the news. Otherwise nobody would care. Nobody does care. He made that clear. | |||

The cameramen and the producers know who's sitting where, Gervais no doubt let them know whom he'll be ribbing but, that's it. They have a seating map and all the celebrities know they need to sit at assigned tables or....gasp! they may not get on camera. They know they will be on camera, and they know how to play the game just as much as the production team knows who's, who and where. If the content crossed the censors, they would've cut/paused the audio or gone-to commercial but, they know reactions are what drives this show, especially when those celebrities are drunk or, revealing a bit much. Predictably, the Hollywood press is down-playing the event and trying to 'include' the typical social messages these clowns try to foist. https://variety.com/2020/tv/re...90/#article-comments | |||

With that mob I wonder how much of the silverware and dinnerware disappeared. | |||

He made Hollyweird look in a mirror and for once they didn’t like what they seen. | |||

I'm thinking that Gervais' Doctor told him that he only has 2 months to live. His career has even less I should think.  Thanks for posting this. I haven't watched an awards show in decades.

“Staged?” Of course it was staged from start to finish as all such entertainments are, including hiring the comedian to make remarks. Now, did the show’s producers collude with the guy to say things that some of the attendees would find offensive? I of course have no way of knowing, but if they did it was a brilliant idea. If the comments didn’t ensure Trump’s reelection, what harm did they do to anyone they were directed at? And don’t comedians like that do that sort of “roasting” all the time? All I can see that the guy accomplished besides venting his own ideas (assuming that’s what they really were) was create an unusual amount of buzz for the show and probably increase the interest in it for the next time. ► 6.4/93.6 “I regret that I am to now die in the belief, that the useless sacrifice of themselves by the generation of 1776, to acquire self-government and happiness to their country, is to be thrown away by the unwise and unworthy passions of their sons, and that my only consolation is to be, that I live not to weep over it.” — Thomas Jefferson | |||

You could tell he was reading from a teleprompter, so of course the producer/director had a script to go by to plan reaction shots. They knew whose name was coming up next so they could be ready for a reaction shot. | |||

Even if the producers, cameramen and Gervais colluded, the audience wasn’t in on it which makes their reactions and the mood in the room real. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

Can't believe no one in the crowd seemed to get the - furball..."she's old school" joke - not even a disgusted groan. And yes, the producers knew exactly what was coming and in two days it will be ancient history. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

Its also great he took a shot at the films coming out of Hollywood as nothing but CGI fantasy meets theme park as well as Netflix being the new movie giant saying "All the good actors have gone to Netflix", LOL | |||

Exactly. I think this performance was as real as any of the so-called "reality" shows - in other words, not at all. | |||

best award show opening monologue ever he's probably not too terribly upset if he gets blacklisted by Hollywood - he should see that as a major lifetime achievement I liked when he talked about a remake of Sophies Choice.....'um, yeah, take that one then' [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||
