And the people who worked on the Saving Private Ryan campaign, you see interviews they've done since then and they're all just kind of like astonished and like it was just rude that he managed to pull that off.
And then he did and it totally worked and they got Gwyneth Paltrow that Oscar and just one of the bigger surprising Best Picture wins that I can remember as an Oscar viewer.
Ha!
I mean, it was definitely like going around and kind of impugning the way that it captured World War Two.
Like, I think it was after that that he got to the point of like publishing negative stories about other films.
Like there was a thing a couple of years later about A Beautiful Mind where they were questioning whether the person Russell Crowe played in the movie was like secretly a Nazi or.
It got really ugly after a while.
But I think Shakespeare in Love was kind of the first seeds of that.
And it was so successful in that he managed to topple this movie that had just seemed like such a guaranteed winner until all of a sudden it wasn't.
And a lot of Weinstein's tactics have kind of made it into the Oscar season groundwater.
Like a lot of people are still doing a lot of the same kind of stuff that he pioneered.
Yeah.
Not in the same bullying way, not with the abusive behavior behind the scenes, obviously.
But he kind of proved you could break this seal of respectability around Oscar campaigning.
And it's never really gone back since then.
Yeah.
Best.
That part is really, really hard because I don't think I ever have loved the Oscars thinking that that is the way that you're going to get the absolute best movie.
Because who's to say what's the best movie?
Like what I think is the best movie of the year is going to be really different from what my parents think.
