That\u2019s why the Globes got me,\u201d he explained.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI might be allowed to host it, if I did what I was told, there\u2019s the rub, the good thing at the Globes, they said I could write my own jokes, say what I want and not rehearse and that\u2019s just too good for a comedian to turn down but I don\u2019t think Oscars would ever allow me that freedom,\u201d Gervais told \u201cThe View\u201d host Sunny Hostin. \u201cRightly so, I think they would be mad. If they did, I\u2019d do it. If they said that, I\u2019d definitely do it. I\u2019d do it for free if they said I could do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who has hosted the Academy Awards on several occasions, disagreed with Gervais\u2019 claim that the Oscars\u2019 producers would never let him get away with that kind of freedom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you\u2019re wrong.
