One source said there is 'growing talk' that Ricky Gervais, 60, would be offered the Oscars hosting gig after the annual award ceremony was dubbed the 'most boring show on television'.
Gervais thrilled viewers when he hosted the Golden Globes in 2020.
And to the obvious discomfort of the gathered Hollywood A-listers, he told them: ‘If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. Ricky Gervais is the brutal British comedian who made headlines around the world after ripping into Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio when he hosted the Golden Globes
In another barb, he said: ‘Looking at all the wonderful faces here today reminds me of great work that’s been done this year – by cosmetic surgeons.’
