Gervais\u2019 post comes after a number of stars at Sunday\u2019s Grammys called out the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following protests about the agency\u2019s violent approach that have resulted in a number of deaths.<\/p>\n
Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny \u2013 who won the Album of the Year award for his record Debi Tirar Mas Fotos \u2013 said: \u201cICE out. We\u2019re not savage. We\u2019re not animals. We\u2019re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Billie Eilish lambasted ICE as she accepted the award for Song of the Year.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cNo one is illegal on stolen land. F*** ICE.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, British singer Olivia Dean expressed her support for immigrants in her speech after claiming the Best New Artist gong.<\/p>\n
The Man I Need hitmaker said: \u201cI\u2019m up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant. I\u2019m a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Several stars, including Justin Bieber and Joni Mitchell, also wore \u201cICE out\u201d pins to the ceremony in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Gervais often ridiculed celebrities when he hosted the Golden Globes on five occasions between 2010 and 2020, something that he describes as the \u201cmost nerve-wracking\u201d thing he has ever done.<\/p>\n
The Office star said: \u201cIt\u2019s the most nerve-wracking thing I\u2019ve ever done.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the only time I ever get an adrenaline rush or get nervous about stuff because I get one shot at it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like taking a penalty. I\u2019ve just got to score.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll I care about it, \u2018I\u2019ve got to do that joke well. I don\u2019t care what they think of it. I don\u2019t care if I\u2019m hated. I don\u2019t care if I have to go into hiding. I just have to say that joke well.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I fluffed the joke \u2013 oh my God, I\u2019d never get over it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gervais\u2019 post comes after a number of stars at Sunday\u2019s Grammys called out the US Immigration and Customs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[132843,89,156,2082,151358,26966,21726,2027,1446,151359,111,139,69,18154,83430,19993,86191,61,3382,16566],"class_list":["post-265245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-acceptance","tag-attack","tag-entertainment","tag-for","tag-gervais","tag-grammy","tag-grammys","tag-ice","tag-making","tag-mocked","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-political","tag-ricky","tag-slams","tag-speeches","tag-to","tag-using","tag-winners"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
