The Brothers Weinstein start the push for The Reader

They're certainly in it to win it, you have to say that...

    I hate this trend to campaign for awards. I think it undermines the work. I hope it doesn't hurt Kate's chances of winning, which I hope she will do this year!

    well, I personally think The Reader's nominations are a product of marketing more than the film itself, so I understand the sentiment

    I agree with you, Joey. I really doubt that such a movie with a lukewarm reception would have succeed this well withouth the bulldozing by Harvey Weinstein.

    I wonder then what other films the weinsteins have managed to get nominated, or win?
