Apparently the foreign press was not happy with his performance Sunday night. Even during the performance Robert Downey Jr said Ricky made the show "hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones.", which I thought was funny, but these people cannot handle being roasted. HFPA's president said Ricky crossed the line. Ricky made an otherwise boring show interesting and funny. It does appear the last hour they held him off-stage. The normal hosting duties were being handled by the announcer. The privilege people can't handle a ribbing. They just want accolades. So unfortunately he probably won't be invited back for a 3rd time.
His best line for me was as the Golden Globes was going off the air he said "Thank you God that you made me an Atheist". A local TV anchor snidely commented about it this morning with "Oh lovely", like he said he said he loved Hitler and Stalin.
Here is his mean spirit comments.
