Amazon shakes up another industry with big win at Golden Globes

Los Angeles

AMONG the usual names invoked during the acceptance speeches at Sunday's Golden Globes - Harvey Weinstein, Scott Rudin, Les Moonves - was an unusual one: tech billionaire Jeff Bezos, founder and chief executive of Amazon.

His company's streaming show Transparent, a dark comedy about a family in which the father comes out as transgender, won the award for best television comedy or musical. The programme's star, Jeffrey Tambor, took home the award for best actor in the category.
