HOLLYWOOD – In a surprise announcement, Harvey Weinstein was given his first 2020 Oscar nomination for his performance as “Defendant” in his upcoming #MeToo trail.

Ambling about with a walker, refusing to take direction (a la Christian Bale in that Terminator movie no one saw) and claiming amnesia — Weinstein has been delivering an “all-star” performance and everyone’s noticed.

“Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant, everything about it,” said an entertainment reporter following the case. “He’s witty, he’s charming, he’s feeble. He leaves the courthouse, everyone’s bawling their eyes out and next he’s yucking up with friends at exclusive restaurants. A stellar performance.”

Weinstein is expected to deliver a “Liar Liar” style beatdown to himself sometime during jury deliberations says a source close to him. “Harvey’s really pulling all the stops out for this role. It’s his first time in front of the cameras and he’s not going to be outdone by a Bill Cosby.”

Unavailable for comment, a spokesperson said, “Harvey’s performance has made us very proud. We hope the jury will see his heart is in this role.”
