Below are the questions that you have to answer:
Start by identifying the “Message” of the speech. That is, explain what the speech’s central ideas or arguments are in a short summary.
• Next, discuss the text’s “Purpose.” Is it informative? Persuasive? Educational? To entertain?
• To properly map out the “Author” section, you will need to research Gervais himself, especially if you are not familiar with him and his work, and identify relevant elements of his professional background and experiences, as well as his values, to properly analyze how all of those elements inform his speech. Once you have learned more about Gervais, select information about Gervais – his personal and professional experiences and his values – that you think are influencing or informing his speech and its content.
• After discussing Gervais, focus on his audience: the Hollywood elites (actors, producers, and directors) gathered in the audience for the ceremony itself, but also the viewing public who tuned into the ceremony. What is most noteworthy about the Hollywood audience that Gervais directly addresses? What values in particular does he reference, appeal to, or criticize? Likewise, is there anything in the speech’s content or its delivery (such as Gervais’ tone, word choice, or facial expressions) that are directed either to the Hollywood audience or to the viewing audience?
• Finally, pay attention to Gervais’ references, which are a clue to the speech’s context. So make a list of those references, from Jeffrey Epstein, Ronan Farrow, Greta Thunberg, and references to films or television shows like Two Popes, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. What specific cultural elements and/or current events are most important to Gervais’ speech?
