In his speech from the stage he ruefully acknowledges that the company will probably have an empty-handed Oscar night for the first time in many years. But he rejects the view that Miramax had gone gooey with "Chocolat." "Wait till you see the first few minutes of "Gangs of New York?" he teases, referring to the long-awaited Martin Scorsese movie, which has been shooting in Italy. This is vintage Weinstein. He turns this year's Oscar disappointment into next year's Oscar anticipation. He is part Louis...
