Chris Rock and Steve Martin both said they had a great time 'not hosting' the 2020 Oscars. They also had a great time teasing Amazon's Jeff Bezos.
Has Oscar style strayed to the casual side? You be the judge.
A few jokes later, after Martin said seeing Brad Pitt was “like looking in a mirror,” Rock noticed Amazon’s Jeff Bezos in the audience. “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,” he said.Advertisement
There was one slip of the tongue, however, when Martin mispronounced Cynthia Erivo’s last name as “Ervio.” Rock quickly said it correctly, then added, “Cynthia did such a great job in ‘Harriet’ hiding black people that the academy got her to hide all the black nominees. Is Eddie Murphy under this stage?”
