Odd to see Bezos cite number of Oscars & Emmies as a measure of competence, as opposed to revenue. A lot of movies that win awards aren't particularly good investments.
- arikr 10y agoI imagine it's a marketing tactic to accelerate the flywheel he cares about: more awards -> more talent that wants to write/sell to Amazon Studios -> more exclusive shows -> more customers -> more awards
- nebabyte 10y agoWhy would that matter to him as a businessman. Awards are attention for the works you're creating, equating to more money. If some "better" award came along tomorrow which had the same implications, he'd be tracking those too.
