More comments by me:
~~~~He made a number of smaller but very pointed remarks, including calling out Harvey Weinstein, whose trial starts Monday in New York. He pretty much blew up Twitter....but I hope he has a good body guard because call pedophiles out publicly can be dangerous to your health. Although I think we've reached the tipping point because there's so much information coming out, one would have to be blind and deaf not to notice.

"It was Farrow — the golden-haired progeny of Hollywood royals Woody Allen and Mia Farrow — who took a journalistic sledgehammer to this industry's meticulously tended facade when he (along with reporters from The New York Times) revealed decades of sexual predation by now-disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein. His Oct. 10 exposé for The New Yorker upended the town's historic casting-couch culture and spurred a wave of disclosures that have toppled powerful men in Hollywood, the media and politics.

He referred to Ronan Farrow (son of Mia and Woody Allen-or possibly Frank Sinatra, as Mia admits). Ronan is currently a journalist who has joined the contributing staff of The New Yorker.
Ricky Gervais: "But tonight is not just about the people in front of the camera. In this room are some of the most important TV and film executives in the world. People from every background. But they all have one thing in common. They're all terrified of Ronan Farrow. He's coming for you. He's coming for you. Talk about your perverts, it was a big year for pedophile movies. Surviving R. Kelly, Leaving Neverland Two Popes, rather sad. I don't care. I don't care."

Farrow — a Rhodes scholar who graduated from Bard College at age 15 — dismisses "the silly, easy narrative about the son of Hollywood taking down the system" — though he won't dispute the effect that his family history of alleged sexual abuse had on him personally, and professionally. His older sister, Dylan Farrow, now 32, accused their father, Woody Allen, of molesting her when she was 7. "You see early in life with that kind of a family background the way in which the most powerful men in America wield power for good and for ill," he says. "And probably, yes, the family background made me someone who understood the abuse of power from an early age." His mother, too, downplays the personal motivation of the stories. "It's not a subject we discussed as a family," says Mia Farrow, speaking for the first time about her son's work to bring down Weinstein. "I never got the sense the Weinstein story was personal for him. He was a reporter on a huge assignment."..."
