"Joan Rivers has predicted that Ricky Gervais&amp;#039;s caustic Golden Globe monologue will prevent him from ever receiving an Oscar nomination. In an interview with The Daily Best, the comedian suggested that Gervais will ultimately be punished for lampooning Hollywood stars such as Robert Downey Jr and Angelina Jolie. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think Ricky Gervais will ever get an Oscar nomination,&amp;quot; she asserted. &amp;quot;And he was great. That group there, the Hollywood Foreign Press, they&amp;#039;re coming down on him, but look at the humor they have! They nominated The Tourist for &amp;#039;Best Comedy&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Rivers added that she&amp;#039;s upset that Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work, a documentary about her life and career, was denied an Oscar nod this year. She explained: &amp;quot;We were told by someone in the Academy - I can&amp;#039;t say who - that the nominating committee didn&amp;#039;t think [the documentary] had enough social significance\u2026 I said, &amp;#039;Next time I&amp;#039;ll carry around a crippled child from Africa&amp;#039;. What assholes. But we just got a couple of other awards. It&amp;#039;s OK.&amp;quot; The 2011 Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 27 at Hollywood&amp;#039;s Kodak Theatre.
