On Feb. 28, 2016, the entertainment industry gave the Oscar for best picture to "Spotlight," a fictionalized version of The Boston Globe's reporting of sexual abuse and its cover-up within the Catholic Church in Boston. The self-congratulation looks amazing now, after the exposure of decades of alleged harassment, and perhaps even rape, by Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein.
"This film gave a voice to survivors, and this Oscar amplifies that voice, which we hope will become a choir that will resonate all the way to the Vatican," said "Spotlight" producer Michael Sugar. "Pope Francis, it's time to protect the children and restore the faith."
We can guess no one will make a movie about the decades of harassment by Weinstein and Hollywood's cover-up. And, certainly, no one would win an Oscar for it. No Holy Father in Tinseltown has moral authority. Feminist superstars like Meryl Streep professed they hadn't the slightest idea of what their friend Harvey was doing ... which makes them either profoundly cynical or amazingly clueless.
A far more believable response came from French actress Lea Seydoux, who wrote in the Guardian that she was groped by Weinstein. She said: "Everyone knew what Harvey was up to and no one did anything. It's unbelievable that he's been able to act like this for decades and still keep his career."
If the liberal intelligentsia found it completely unbelievable that a Catholic bishop might have been uninformed about sexual abuse by priests, then how do they expect anyone to believe it's impossible for the Streeps of Hollywood to be unaware?
The news reports on this scandal have underplayed or ignored the deep hypocrisy of Weinstein's business efforts against bullying and sexual assault. His company distributed the documentary "Bully" to theaters in 2012. In 2015, it funded and distributed "The Hunting Ground," a documentary pitched as "a startling expose of rape crimes on U.S. college campuses, their institutional cover-ups and the devastating toll they take on students and their families."
Months after the 2016 Oscars, Hollywood feminists railed against President Donald Trump for a 2005 videotape in which he made crude remarks about what a powerful man can do to women. They shared their outrage on Twitter -- Cher, Patricia Arquette, Debra Messing, Lena Dunham, and Ashley Judd. The day after Trump's inauguration, the Hollywood feminists marched in Washington, D.C., in Park City, Utah (where they hold the Sundance Film Festival), and other cities. There in the Utah "feminist" crowd was one Harvey Weinstein.
Judd, who notoriously screamed grotesqueries at Trump at the March on Washington, was the first big name to allow her name to be used in The New York Times story on Weinstein. Dunham wrote in the Times that she regretted shaking Weinstein's hand at a Weinstein-organized rally for Hillary Clinton in 2016. She had heard the rumors but ultimately "made a calculation" since she desperately wanted Clinton to win.
Can today's young women in Hollywood count on an anti-Weinstein "choir" to "resonate" around the entertainment industry? The Catholic Church has taken dramatic steps to prevent the abuse of children. It is Hollywood's turn to put its money where its mouth has been.
Does this movie spotlight, make any mention of the fact that most rapes were perpetrated by queers that infiltrated the church to access little boys. The queer raping of young boys account for some 95% of the cases.
Just 8 days ago, this was Weinstein's method of obfuscation and side stepping. It has served Hollywood for decades.
The amazing thing is it didn't work this time, because the bastard was so guilty.
Harvey Weinstein actually abused binders full of women.
WE’VE known it for years. When will Hollywood acknowledge it? Ever?
They like exposing themselves that’s for sure.
Anyone who didn’t already know that Hollywood, and all liberals, are complete and utter hyprocrites, is someone who is pretty slow on the uptake...
WEINSTEIN DEMOCRATS.
You said it.
President Trump, here’s your next series of tweets:
Ashley Judd, when I said powerful men in
Hollywood could grab a woman’s pussy and
get away with it, U protested me. But
u KNEW it was true. Weinstein had grabbed yours.
HILLARY: "Harvey, how sweet. You had my campaign slogan tattooed on your penis."
HARVEY: "No pictures please. I'll show Hillary my penis in private."
Cali Democrat Kamala Harris and NY's Andrew Cuomo were at the top of the list of people who COULD have looked into Harvey Weinstein. Becerra has not made a sound to defend women being criminally assaulted.
All of them go limp over radical feminism....a top issue for presidential wannabes.
After all, Harvey was such an open secret that Seth McFarlane joked about in the 2013 Academy Awards. ("Congratulations, nominees. You no longer need to pretend you find Harvey Weinstein attractive."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo was Attorney General of New York from 2007 through 2010. Sen. Kamala Harris was Attorney General of California from 2011 through 2016. They're both considered among the top under-75-year-old candidates to be Democratic nominee for President in 2020.
Kamala Harris has not demonstrated outraged at younger women asked to sleep their way to the top with a decrepit old man. Her main qualification for her quick ascent to the San/Fran DA's office was her alleged open-secret affair w/ elderly San Francisco mayor, Willie Brown.

Good article. All the virtue signaling at Award shows has been unwatchable.
HOLLYWOOD IS A MORAL CESSPOOL!
I.
Love.
This.
Calling out holier than thou hypocrites feels really really good.
Same with former DNC head Donna Brazile, who fed answers to presidential debate questions to Hillary:
