I can’t believe I am about to say these words: We have Ricky Gervais to thank for one of the best moments at this year’s Golden Globes.
This year’s telecast was already filled with a lot of bizarre things: undeniably wacky music choices, a tie-in with UFC, an entire segment devoted to celebrity podcasts, and a few genuine upsets among the film winners that have me curious how Oscars season is going to go. But the Best Comedy Special portion of the evening ended up being uniquely special… thanks, in large part, to Gervais’ complete and total absence from the night.
