Oscars 2020: from Brad Pitt to Renée Zellweger, these were the best quotes from the evening

With the Oscars audience expected to hit the tens of millions, the show was an irresistible opportunity for Hollywood stars to share their thoughts.

Some managed to express those thoughts better than others, however. Here are some of the more memorable lines from Sunday’s ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Brad Pitt, accepting the Oscar for supporting actor:

“They told me I only have 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week.”

Laura Dern, supporting actress winner and daughter of actors Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern:

“Some say never meet your heroes, but I say, if you’re really blessed, you get them as your parents.”
