Academy Award nominations were announced yesterday. Over in Australia, The Chasers give out their own Oscars for news programs.

On CNN, Piers Morgan asks Ricky Gervais why he offended people at the Golden Globes award show by thanking god for making him an atheist. Gervais points out the absurdity of such an attitude.

He hosted the Golden Globes awards show and let fly at all manner of targets. Either British awards shows are much edgier than ours (which is quite possible) or he had the kind of abandon that comes from not wanting to be invited to host again.

See also his final thank yous which likely sealed his fate.

You’ve gotta love Ricky Gervais.

This nasty man richly deserves all the harsh treatment that he receives.

Thanks to commenter Henry for the link to this video that captures a lot of what I have been saying.

It’s nice to know that we are not alone and that even Australia suffers from hyperventilating news programs and self-dramatizing, self-absorbed people to provide them with the necessary raw material.
