    New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey recently spoke to Terry Gross on NPR about breaking the Harvey Weinstein story. There are some great/important tidbits in their interview about Gwyneth Paltrow that would make a great follow up to this video. Here's a link: www.npr.org/2019/09/10/759384251/she-said-reveals-the-people-and-practices-that-protected-weinstein

      What do you think about Michael Caine's win for The Cider House Rules? He was up against Tom Cruise in Magnolia,Haley Joel Osment in Sixth Sense,Jude Law in The Talented Mr.Ripley and Michael Duncan Clark in Green Mile.
      The Cider House Rules was a product of Weinstein company and Caine thanked him in his acceptance speech.
      Caine's win for The Cider House Rules is considered one of the most undeserving wins in history of Oscars. Likely another paid Oscar by Weinstein.
      Many believed the Oscar should have gone to Tom Cruise for Magnolia. It's noteworthy that Nicole Kidman once said Cruise had protected her from Hollywood rapists,thus she was never harassed. This must be why Cruise didn't win that year.

      @Unism How dare you say the incidents with Louis C.K. were consensual, they absolutely were not! Two female comedians met him after the show-don't forget that he was more famous/more powerful then them; he pulls his pants down and starts masturbating! These women, who did not have the power that he did-absolutely feared career retribution! The bullshit with louis c.k. is that he came across in his comedy as a voice of conscience and he had NONE. Everyone has the right to work without someone masturbating in front of them! How would you like it if some dude masturbated in front of you while you're talking shop? Give me an f'ing break.

      Elsa Gaxiola lets be honest though Harvey and Harvey alone got her that win. She is a good enough actress to continue to work but to be given the Oscar for a role that was very average. I’m not saying Bradly Coopers role wasn’t challenging but she was just playing a woman who knew what she did and didn’t want and it wasn’t anything special.

      "La Vita è bella" was also distributed by Miramax (owned by Weinstein) and It won as best foreign film at the Oscars and Roberto Benigni won an Oscar as best actor the same night (Roberto actually thanked Weinstein during his speech). As much as I love that film and Benigni was magnificent in it, it's "weird" that two movies produced/distributed by the same company received so many awards in one night. Shakespeare in Love won as "Best Film", Gwyneth won as "Best Actress" and Judi Dench as "Best Supporting actress" for that film.

Mira Sorvino could have really become a household name with the Lord of the Rings franchise.

The cliché stay where even the "villain" that is released come back for some reason to kill a character. The character beside Matt Daimen and Tom Hank are not rememberful, to the point I don't even know who dies when. Thin Red Line was better and it didn't deserve to win, Shakespear was a better story in every way compare to the three. Now against the remaining two I don't know, never seen those two.

      I never understood why Parasite got so much praise from Hollywood.
      It’s a great movie, one of my favorites actually, but Hollywood has clearly a different view of social inequalities; it’s more optimistic and elitist. It sells the belief that everyone can be rich if they work hard enough, it even goes as far as humanizing criminals (Wolf of Wall Street).
      It was obviously a political strategic move, I don’t think they understood the movie or even watched it.

      It’s so like Hollywood, bad characters are portrayed as human and complex (American Sniper humanizing someone who beat his wife and enjoyed killing, Joker humanizing a white guy who shot people because he was ‘mentally ill’).

      to be fair, Meryl was never targeted by Weinstein because he didn't pursue strong women, and she didn't know about all the shit he was pulling. She's not a typical Hollywood type. She lives away from all the limelight, doesn't do the parties and hang with the industry types. She might have heard rumors, but rumors aren't facts. I worked in Hollywood for a number of years. We all heard rumors but they were usually not ascribed to one person but the industry as a whole. Believe me, Weinstein is just the tip of the iceberg. That kind of sexual abuse is rampant in Hollywood. I never experienced it cuz I was not young or pretty enough to be a target, but I heard stories. And before you ask, no, I couldn't have said or done anything. I was a nobody with no power and the stories and rumors I heard we unsubstantiated and, like I said, never named names.

The only reason it ever came out that Weinstein did what he did was because one of his victims was brave enough to record him and produce incontrovertible evidence of Harvey’s sick behavior.
      It must have sucked for anyone who knew about Harvey who would have done something knowing that any attempt at doing so would destroy their career and get them sued for defamation. That being said, I cannot know Mel’s heart, and it’s possible that he really just didn’t care enough to share the truth, regardless of the consequences.
