Random thoughts…
For my money, the funniest lines of the evening were aimed at Amazon CEO-founder Jeff Bezos, who was in the audience and endure shots from Chris Rock and Steve Martin…
Chris Rock: He’s got cash. When he writes a check the bank bounces … Jeff Bezos is so rich, he got divorced and he’s still the richest man in the world! … He saw ‘Marriage Story’ and thought it was a comedy.
Steve, do you have anything you want to add about Mr. Bezos?
Steve Martin: No, I like getting my packages on time.
Funny stuff. And Bezos seemed to be enjoying himself.
Also … Variety notes that Laura Dern's win is "the first time an actor has won an Oscar for a role in a movie distributed by a streaming service — Netflix."
Which says something about disruption.
I think I need to see Parasite.
