times when harvey weistein broke rules and nothing happened

After the Oscar nominations were announced, Miramax funded a “Welcome to America” party for John Madden, Shakespeare’s British director; Academy members, including director Sidney Lumet, screenwriter-director Jay Presson Allen, and screenwriter David Newman, attended it. As Finke pointed out, this should’ve been held in violation of a 1997 Academy rule barring studios from hosting events for their nominees to which Academy members are invited. So how did Weinstein get around it? By explaining, “I’m sorry there were three Academy members present, but it was a press event, and you have to have celebrities at a press event to get the press there.”

The Weinstein Company sent a for-your-consideration e-mail to The Hollywood Reporter’s subscribers. It included a quote from critic Thelma Adams: “It’s been TWENTY-NINE YEARS SINCE MERYL STREEP WON AN OSCAR and she certainly deserves to win for her performance in The Iron Lady!” This should’ve been against the rules, because for-your-considerations aren’t allowed to reference past awards.

Weinstein got former Academy president and director of The Sound of Music Robert Wise to write an op-ed praising Scorsese and Gangs of New York. Miramax in turn used that op-ed in ads for the movie with the headline reading, “Two time Academy Award winner Robert Wise declares Scorsese deserves the Oscar for Gangs of New York.” It was later revealed that a Miramax publicist actually wrote it and had the 88-year-old Wise sign it. (This resulted in the Academy banning ads that include quotes from Academy members.)

This Harvey Weinstein character sounds like a real scumb@g 💩🖕🏾…

Darling, I’ve watched many clips of Firebender, and while that girl performance is pretty bland and lack of any emotions (just like most of children actors/actresses), I think the the decision to nominate her is kinda unnecessary.

There’s a lot of worse performance last year that goes unnoticed (Godot for Death On The Nile, Floppie Robbie in Amsterdam, etc) They should just replaced her with anyone who sits on the 6th position during the voting for nominees.

Yeah, call her ‘Floppie Robbie’ after 7/23 of this year, I DARE YOU!!!

BTW, The Almighty Spielberg’s last two efforts have bombed hard, the last one deservingly so…

Finally, Lindsay Lushan was her usual awful self in that Netflix Christmas movie she did 👎🏼

And how about that Whitney Houston biopic bombing? 😹

Halle Berry is Biracial so I think the real problem is with black women. One weird thing I remember: Americans are too weird about race. I remember a very weird Deadline Hollywood Daily article which “considered Antonio Banderas a people of colour”. Antonio Banderas is white. That same DHD article “considered Anya Taylor-Joy a people of colour”. Anya Taylor-Joy is white

‘People of Colo(u)r’ is a racist term used by NIMBY white people in an effort to absolve themselves…

Darling, I have a copy of her studio albums. Unlike you, I can afford good music so naming 10 non singles is easy.

I can afford ‘good’ music too, which is why I don’t bother with 3rd-rate processed cheese pop ‘music’ that the likes of Mariah, Whitney, Celine, Lionel Ritchie, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, Peter Frampton, Kenny Loggins, and Stynx provide, and the Clear Channel clods who now ru(i)n the RHoF seem hell-bent on forcing it down our collective throats! 🤬💩🤮🖕🏾

Nobody has to like John (as apparently EEAAO) but, he started these “awards” in his basement decades ago. The man worked hard.
It’s morphed into something quite different now, but he has a respectable membership and colludes with other entertainment site gurus.

I’m not happy with how the Razzies have evolved but I’m not ready to condemn John. He’s far from an evil guy.
Jmho

NO, not having it!

John J.B. Wilson is a grifter who puts out half-assed ballots (most of the categories had no more than 7-8 names to choose from) and charges saps $40 to go along with his agenda!

Also, after what that rapist creep Harvey Weinstein did to snuff out the prime of Mira Sorvino’s career, for grifter John J.B. Wilson to single her out to be nominated for a movie hardly anyone was aware of proves what a sexist pr!ck he really is!

So JJBW, ala Weinstein, Les Moonves (another 🐷 man), and David O. Russell (inexplicably left off the nominee list for the atrocious Amsterdam 🤬) can all 🔥 for all anyone cares 🖕🏾

Mariah has an impeccable repertoire. Her non-singles are significantly better than her singles. People are just oblivious or in denial about her legacy. She deserves to be inducted.

OK, name TEN stellar non-singles she has, and the albums they’re from, without looking it up online…

And how about everyone STOP buying her crappy Xmas song(s) every single year already…

The old saying when I was growing up was “pick on someone your own size” and it applies here.

Grifter/scumbag extradonaire John J.B. Wilson should be raked over the coals by the media (and everyone else) for this! 🖕🏾
That, along with the fact that his ‘humor’ is beyond infantile…

Mariah has 19 #1s (18 she wrote) & is the biggest selling F artist in U.S. She should’ve been inducted years ago.

Nickelback has also had a lot of big hits, so should they be inducted as well? 🤷‍♂️

Geez this list is LAME!
Only four acts post-1980 (Soundgarden, RATM, HL&TN, S&P), and one of them is really a duo (neither of whom plays any instruments) rather than a group…
