Bob & Harvey Weinstein |
|
| Bob and Harvey Weinstein launched their multi-media company, The Weinstein Company, in 2005 after leaving Miramax Films, which they co-founded in 1979. Their films have received 303 Oscar nominations since that time, and have won a total of 75 Academy Awards. This year the brothers will be honored with the prestigious Chairman's Award for their critical role in distributing the groundbreaking documentary Bully, which has brought unprecedented national attention to the bullying epidemic within K-12 schools, and has helped amplify the conversation central to GLSEN's mission to create safe and affirming schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. |
