Good day all. The demolition of Pervy Winestain as a mover and shaker in Hollywood continues. He has been fired from his own company, and now the Motion Picture Academy is kicked him out.
It’s taken a little over a week for Pervy Winestain, aka Harvey Weinstein, to go from the great heights of Hollywood’s elites to a smoking hole in the ground. Now the Motion Picture Academy, home of the Oscars, has booted him out. Here are some of the details from The Los Angeles Times:
Embattled film mogul Harvey Weinstein — a once-dominant force in the Academy Awards who rewrote the rules of Oscar campaigning — has been expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in response to mounting allegations of sexual harassment and assault against him.
The film academy’s 54-member board of governors, which includes such industry luminaries as Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Kathleen Kennedy and Whoopi Goldberg, voted in an emergency meeting on Saturday morning to remove Weinstein from the organization’s ranks in an unprecedented public rebuke of a prominent industry figure.
The move marked the latest blow in Weinstein’s stunning downfall and, in symbolic terms, amounts to a virtual expulsion from Hollywood itself.
Well, there’s always that trailer park outside of Encino. Of course, that would imply that he isn’t prosecuted and jailed for his criminal activities towards women over the last few decades.
In removing Weinstein from its ranks, the academy said in a statement, “We do so not simply to separate ourselves from someone who does not merit the respect of his colleagues but also to send a message that the era of willful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behavior and workplace harassment in our industry is over.
What’s at issue here is a deeply troubling problem that has no place in our society. The Board continues to work to establish ethical standards of conduct that all Academy members will be expected to exemplify.”
Ethics? In Hollywood? I guess they aren’t looking at that mathematical system known as “Hollywood Accounting.” That’s where a film costs about $50 million to make, $25 million to advertise, and makes close to a billion dollars, yet doesn’t make a profit. Still I guess it’s a start.
Twenty-one members of the film academy’s board are women — as is its chief executive, Dawn Hudson — and in recent years the organization has taken steps to dramatically increase the number of women in its historically overwhelmingly male ranks.
I wonder how many of them were pawed by Pervy Winestain? Probably none, since they were now in positions of power themselves and could easily arrange to have Pevry driven out into the Mohave Desert and left for dead.
In the past several days, a number of academy members expressed their feelings both privately and publicly that Weinstein had no place in the film industry’s most prestigious organization.
Yeah, sure they did. Pull the other finger, it has a bell on it.
Even Weinstein’s brother, Bob — with whom he ran Miramax Films and then Weinstein Co. — said in an interview published Saturday in the Hollywood Reporter that he felt the academy should expel him, adding that he planned to write a note to the group to that effect.
I see that as more a “Covering my fat ass” then any actual interest in seeing his brother got his comeuppance. He had to know what Pervy was doing, and did nothing to stop him.
The academy’s move follows the British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ decision earlier this week to suspend Weinstein’s membership. The Producers Guild of America is set to hold a meeting on Monday morning to decide whether to take similar action.
So, once again, the Brits lead the way and the moonbats of Hollyweird are unfashionably late to the party.
Some in Hollywood had used the platform of the Oscars not to thank Weinstein, but to make sharp digs at him. In 2013, host Seth MacFarlane, after announcing the nominees for supporting actress alongside actress Emma Stone, said, “Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein.”
And now, no one in Hollywood has to pretend to be attracted to Pervy Winestain. As the old saying goes, “Stick the fork in, Pervy’s all done!”
