Robert DeNiro Mocks Immigration Debate During Acceptance Speech

Robert DeNiro was honored Sunday evening with a Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion pictures and, like so many other recipients of major awards, he took advantage of the moment to say a lot of things people are forced to listen to because 1) cameras are on them, and 2) there’s already a huge line for the bathroom.

DeNiro chose to use his special moment to give his thoughts on immigration, which included a joke about the Hollywood Foreign Press, Spanish actor Javier Bardem and waiters (All of them? Some of them? Just the ones who moonlight as famous actors with work visas?) all being deported.

Now, once you finish laughing, can we talk about where on Earth host Ricky Gervais left to?
