EVERYTHING You Don't Know About How Harvey Weinstein Rigged The Oscars

from Coffee & Cults: Everything You Don't Know About Hollywood · host Ash Silver | Coffee & Cults | Daylight Media

VIDEO VERSION: https://youtu.be/pyJlQieqo-w Harvey Weinstein & his companies, Miramax & The Weinstein Company dominated Hollywood & the vast majority of award shows for over four decades, especially the Oscars. Weinstein was known as the King of Hollywood & THE producer, able to make or break anyone’s career. Weinstein was not satisfied with merely being one of the biggest players in Hollywood, rich, successful, having his movies highly decorated every awards season, being thanked more than even god in Oscar speeches & having a wife & kids to go home to. None of this was enough for Weinstein, & he spent day in, day out, preying on & attacking young actresses who were meeting with him to try to& get their big break in Hollywood. Weinstein had a lot of help to continue his disgusting crimes, & to cover them up for decades, he was almost untouchable. Only because of some brave women who were survivors of Weinstein & some brave journalists was the truth about Weinstein finally revealed & he was finally unmasked as a monster. One aspect of Weinstein’s history that is almost never discussed in recent years is his Oscars campaign, & how he used his fame, Oscar nominations & wins to lure in scores of young actresses. So that’s what we’re discussing today, Harvey Weinstein and his  long history of lies, bullying, manipulation & bribery to secure constant award show nominations and wins for his films, and himself, in order to dangle a career as a Best Actress Oscar winner at the women he preyed on. We’ll also be covering his relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow & the part she played in Weinstein’s story, as it was Gwyneth Paltrow’s career above all others that Harvey Weinstein offered up to other women, trying to get them to give into his twisted, disgusting advances. There’s a lot more to Weinstein’s Oscar campaigns than most people know, & we’ll be getting into all of the secrets & behind the scenes information in today’s video.
