Harvey Weinstein is an American film producer who co-founded Miramax and The Weinstein Company, whose awards-campaign dominance defined 1990s–2000s prestige cinema before his exposure as a serial sexual abuser in 2017.
Weinstein's aggressive awards campaigns transformed Oscar season into a major commercial enterprise and demonstrated that boutique distribution could compete with studio releases — reshaping the ecology of American prestige film.
