Discovery. “Good evening and welcome to the Golden Globes.

Wanda Sykes Thanks “God and the Trans Community” on Ricky Gervais’ Behalf Ricky Gervais just learned what happens when you skip out on the Golden Globes. During the 2026 ceremony on Sunday, the comedian was nominated for best performance in stand-up comedy on TV for Ricky Gervais: Mortality and ultimately won. However, he wasn’t in attendance to accept the award, so presenter Wanda Sykes accepted it on his behalf. But that also meant Sykes had the microphone all to herself, and she definitely didn’t waste the opportunity. “Ricky Gervais, I love you … for not being here,” she said, drawing laughter from the A-lister-filled room. “No, I love you Ricky, but if you win, I get to accept the award on your behalf. And you’re going to thank God and the trans community.” Read more. — Carly Thomas
