This is why Amy Schumer, Jonah Hill were censored at the Golden Globes
The censor was working overtime during the Golden Globes on Sunday, bleeping out — among other celebrities — Amy Schumer, Jonah Hill, and host Ricky Gervais.
As the first presenter, Hill — dressed like the bear from The Revenant — got the censor going early. "Honey is f—ing delicious and I want to make everyone aware of that!" he announced. Still clinging to the bear bit, Hill said later: "There are some studio heads I wouldn't mind taking a swipe at later tonight. But don't be mad because don't forget, I'm a bear! I don't f—ing care!" Watch the clip below, complete with a cameo from an unimpressed Jane Fonda.
Later, Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence came out to introduce clips from their movies — Trainwreck and Joy, respectively — and then started to talk about nicknames. Lawrence explained that a star can't just come up with their own, and that it has to "come naturally. What do people usually call you?" "Usually they just call me c—t," Schumer replied (listen to the uncensored version below).

Then, there was Gervais, who asked Mel Gibson if he'd care to elaborate on reports that he once called a female deputy "sugar t—s." Gibson quickly responded by saying he never said it, as the censor, finger poised above the button, waited for yet another four-letter word to fly.
