Ricky Gervais thinks he was a little too edgy to have been invited to the 2021 Oscars.
On Sunday, the comedian trolled the Academy Awards broadcast by sharing the full monologue from the last time he hosted the Golden Globes, in January 2020.

Many clearly missed the humour Gervais brought to that awards show, particularly in contrast with the largely comedy-free, hostless Oscars ceremony this year.
Dwayne Johnson gave Gervais a shoutout for the old monologue on Twitter.
Geeezus I just rewatched this. I miss laughing this hard. Cheers brother ??

I didn’t hear a single joke. It was very funny. But not a single joke. Lol

Thoroughly enjoy seeing how Ray Romano digs your humor, very much the same way that I do. So brilliant ???
