Ricky Gervais is urging winners not to get political at the Golden Globes, quipping that celebrities are in “no position to lecture the public about anything.”



“If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech,” the Golden Globes host said Sunday at the 77th annual awards show in Los Angeles.



“You know nothing about the real world,” the comedian told the A-list-packed audience.
