Weinstein-Artist Party
The Weinstein Co.’s post-Oscar victory party happened…well, actually it’s still happening (as of 12:05 am) at the Mondrian Hotel’s SkyBar. Nice gathering, nice people. Artist costar Uggie and Harvey Weinstein showed up; I left before the stars arrived. The Mondrian is just down the street (i.e., Sunset) from the Sunset Tower hotel, where the Vanity Fair party was happening simultaneously.
Uggie arrived with trainer and entourage, went right to special booth, etc.
Cigarettes were going for $15 a pack — no lie.
Harvey should have won Best Actor in a supporting role for promoting The Artist from a nice French film that would have passed without much notice to an Oscar sweeper.
Lets ban him next year so the Oscars go to the proper/deserved winners.
The people involved in The Artist struck me as so charming and passionate toward their film. I just wish it could have been a box office monster instead of an Oscar magnet.
@Fortunesfool: I dunno, I’m a Tarantino fanboy and if Django Unchained delivers I’m gonna want Harvey in its corner.
I’d rather they pimped THE MASTER or COGAN’S TRADE next year.
@Jericho Cane: I’m excited for those two as well. Cogan’s Trade was a phenomenal book, perfect for a film adaptation and the talent alone involved in The Master/Cogan’s/Django means Harvey has proven karma to be bullshit. He’s gonna have another great Oscar year in 2013.
He also has The Wettest County
Damn, I am in my mid 30′s and remember $2 packs of smokes in my teens.
I am getting old and inflation is a bitch.
Maybe we should be listening to Ron Paul about the Federal Reserve.
Harvey Weinstein got Meryl Streep a 3rd Oscar…I hope he has a heart attack this year.
Is it wrong I hope the place catches on fire?
I guess I can’t blame him. Gotta blame the zombie like 45-55% of the Academy that stubbornly vote for anything he tries to sell them.
Meryl Streep should have won her 3rd Oscar before now, for a better performance and when there was a less deserving competitor than Viola Davis. Like, you know, Sandra Bullock.
The Academy has a unique ability to get it wrong even when they’re finally getting it right.
I’m excited about it, too !
After all the histrionics you STILL went to the Weinstein after party? Of course you did.
JLC: My thoughts exactly!!
The $15 pack of cigarette is $15 because someone hooked on the nicotine is willing to pay it – although where he can smoke it in Los Angeles is a bigger question.
Glad to see HUGO won awards for effects but Scorsese was definitely robbed of Best Director & Picture simply due to Weinstein back room politics. Like LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE & KINGS SPEECH all over again, no one is going to remember THE ARTIST film in 10 years. It sucks all the air out of the program when you know a forgetful film is going to be awarded simply due to payola practices.
“Cigarettes were going for $15 a pack — no lie.”
The more money for Harvey, the liberal establishment of the 1%, the better.
He’ll use it to campaign for that 3-d stick figure movie next year. It’ll feature plenty of gay sex, a non-original score, feature 5 different language, be b/w, directed by some 1-hit-hipster and tell the audience to f*ck off. Yet, it’ll probably win best picture. LMFAO. Darn you Harvey Wenstein. Darn you!
Between the $15 packs of Parliament and the ManHunter billboard, are you sure you weren’t actually in the Village?
The second girl looks just scary to me… :I
Wow, there are really people that thought Hugo deserved Best Picture??
I mean — I liked it quite a bit, too, but come on now…
MANHATTAN co-stars Meryl and Woody both won Oscars in the same night. That’s not too bad.
