Oh sure there are non-Jews in power positions--prolly now more than ever...but that's not what I or anyone else says. But again, to deny that every single major studio has been and continues to be overwhelmingly managed at the highest level by people who are descendants of the Tribe of Abraham is beyond absurd.
Here's one modern important example: Katzenberg, Geffen and Spielberg.
Now, I am not sure why my co-religionists get so upset when these facts are brought up. We Jews do ourselves no good by denying reality and then getting an attitude about it. My answer is that Jews must have the unique combination of talent and inclinations to be successful at making movies. Genes? Environment? Combination of both? Hebrew school? Who knows? But it is what it is.

Genes? Environment?
Probably both as to why you're industrious and good at making money.
Being historically persecuted in almost all societies has made Jews hyper-industrious in order to prove their "value" to their adopted lands.
And being from the Middle East (a historic tradiing nexus) is the genetic kick that makes you good with lucre.
Now if only you had directors and actors who were nearly as talented as the owners of Hollywood are at making money.;)
