    Brad Pitt confronted him... And never won an Oscar until Harvey was in jail...
  • @Jiovi92
    Paltrow winning over Cate Blanchett was a crime.
  • @elegantnoir6999
    Please do not be fooled.....THEY...ALL...KNEW.....ALL OF THEM.....each and every one of them
  • @mayjohnson2296
    Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan? Right there should tell you these award shows including the Oscars are fixed
  • @terriesmith8219
    Now I understand why Jennifer Lawrence rise to fame so quickly.
  • @ErikaMcQueen89
    So are they going to expose the other top producers in Hollywood as well? Harvey isn’t the only one ?
  • @SAMZIRRA
    So I get it. Harvey did it. But, I want to know who all the others are. He can't be the only one at the top doing this.
  • @mechamartini
    shakespear in love winning that year is a crime in itself.
  • @P1MP3TTE
    The jennifer lawrence connection makes so much sense! I've always been shocked that she had an oscar and enough power in hollywood for them to rewrite the xmen movies to focus on her character without the talent to justify it.

    Boycotting Hollywood is not looking so crazy now is it..
  • @skysedgeproductions6170
    I want Martin Scorsese to direct Weinstein's biopic starring Leonardo diCaprio. Produced by Miramax.
  • @crimsonmonk5876
    I have ALWAYS wondered why certain people GET THOSE DAMN Oscars even when their movies weren't so awesome or didn't compare to other movies out during the same year! Even questioned why certain actors won Oscars and others pulled off AMAZING performances beyond what the winner displayed! NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE! That's not to say that I already didn't think the Oscars was always full of shit but now I who want to be an actor really lost all respect for it...
  • @DaveMcIroy
    If you're too afraid to speak about it, that's one thing. But thanking him at your OSCAR speech makes you a perpetrator, not a victim.
  • @ksenijagospic2745
    And I always wondered what was so special about Jennifer Lawrence that she ended up having such successful career hmm
  • @Fireflight97
    Everyone's favourite Jennifer Lawrence lol soooo "down to earth and not like typical Hollywood girls"
  • @juliusayo5049
    To all those asking "I wonder who else at the top is doing this? Weinstein can't be the only one." The video is perfectly edited for you to start that list without outrightly accusing them. Weinstein hints at the people at the end of the video. When you edit films/videos, like myself, every detail counts. I thought it was weird to end the video like that, but I realized that it had a purpose. Great job, Washington Post.
