Harvey looks at the guy kicking his seat and briefly considers having him killed
I think Michelle Obama’s great, but even I thought it was weird to have the First Lady as a presenter at the Oscars. But of course, you can’t say that without everyone thinking you’re Rush Limbaugh. Anyway, if you were wondering how it all came about, the short answer is Harvey Weinstein. He probably arranged it with the other Learned Elders of Zion– uh, I mean, his friends.
Michelle Obama presenting best picture from the White House? It was Harvey Weinstein‘s daughter’s idea.
According to Film Academy president Hawk Koch, the plan came from Weinstein and his daughter, Lily. That led to Koch and Oscars producers Craig Zedan and Neil Meron boarding a secret flight to Washington, D.C. two weeks ago.
Once they arrived, they met Weinstein and his daughter, and met with members of the First Lady’s staff to hammer out the details.
The person seen via satellite who handed her the Best Picture envelope Robert Moritz, the chairman of PriceWaterhouse Coopers, who handed over the envelope containing the winner’s name.
Jack Nicholson, who had introduced the First Lady from the Dolby Theatre stage, was holding a second envelope with the winner — in case something went wrong and they lost the connection. [THR]
So basically, Harvey Weinstein’s daughter wanted the President’s wife on the show, and Harvey Weinstein made it so, all with a couple phone calls. I mean why wouldn’t he be able to call in favors from the President? I swear, if that guy wanted an endangered okapi to lick whipped cream off his balls, he could make it happen before he lost his hard on. I imagine Harvey Weinstein’s office to be dark and filled with fog, with a giant hologram of his head floating above the room while an assistant pulls ropes that make fire shoot out of the walls like the Wizard of Oz.

“That led to Koch and Oscars producers Craig Zedan and Neil Meron boarding a secret flight…” What, were they on a stealth bomber? Not telling everyone where you’re going doesn’t make it a “secret flight.” And these people get paid to write for a living.
what Benjamin answered I’m surprised that any one can earn $7097 in 1 month on the computer. did you see this page,,, [xurl.es]
Hawk Koch sounds like it should be the name of the president of the Porn Film Academy.
“When the falcon wants the dish filled, that Hawk better whip out his Hawk Koch.”
Wow he looks like Jeff Bridges sounds.
I’ll get shit for even suggesting it, but yeah, worst part of the Oscars. I went from being engaged to going, “wtf is this?” The terrible transition and banter didn’t help.
Worse than Babs?
Those two certainly have a dictator-like omnipresence at every major public event.
Certainly helpful in making Hollywood seem less liberal.
WTF was up with those military personnel standing behind her? What kind of world do we live in where the First Lady can use servicemembers as props?
Welcome to ‘Murica, my friend.
Weinstein is the biggest douchebag pig in the film industry.. the academy awards are nothing more than about money and the “swinging of votes” by powerful slobs like Harvey… the much better films never rise to “academy” standards because they don’t have the distribution clout, backroom deals… and powerful obnoxious sow’s like Weinstein to push them through.
“The person seen via satellite who handed her the Best Picture envelope Robert Moritz, the chairman of PriceWaterhouse Coopers, who handed over the envelope containing the winner’s name.”
Did Perd Hapley write this press release? “The person that handed her the envelope is the person that handed the envelope. And that’s the story that I told you I was going to tell you in this segment, at the beginning of this segment of Ya Heard, With Perd.”
