Gervais was right on in my opinion. These awards shows are insufferable. I think most people hate watch them.
If you think award shows are bad (which they are) you don't host them.
Yes but they're bad in a very special sort of way. Kind of like The Room. I like to study how bad they are. It's fascinating to me. One would think that an awards show regarding people whose job it is is to create good entertainment would produce a quality awards show.
But it's a clown show every single time. I've never seen one go well. It's like watching a Trump rally.
