So this explains JLaw's meteoric trajectory from relative unknown, hillbilly ingenue to Academy Award winner whose Golden Globe speech specifically thanked "Harvey, for killing whoever he had to kill to get me up here".

Jlaw skyrocketed after delivering an incredible performance in an independent film and being nominated for tons of awards

No it doesn't.

Here's Jennifer Lawrence nominated for Best Actress in 2011 for Winter's Bone a movie Harvey Weinstein had nothing to do with.

Rotten Tomatoes 94% Critics Consensus: Bleak, haunting, and yet still somehow hopeful, Winter's Bone is writer-director Debra Granik's best work yet -- and it boasts an incredible, starmaking performance from Jennifer Lawrence.

"the way Lawrence captures a young woman's fear and resolve, often non-verbally, well ... this is a considerable talent well on her way to a great career."

Lawrence was 18 when she acted in it and the whole movie rests on her shoulders.

I beg to differ. Watch her tour-de-farce 'Serena'. Bette Davis she is not

You know what Are_We_sure? Go fuck yourself you piece of vermin shit. It's disgusting Deep state hemorrhoids like yourself which need to be eradicated.

You are part of the machine which just murdered 48 Americans and injured hundreds more. I pray that I meet you face to face someday. You little cuck coward.

I'm familiar with the film. And to deny HW has played a part in her meteoric rise is naive. She wouldve been another one hit wonder. This town is full of them.there are far more talented actresses than she, whose work will never see the light of day

You didn't claim he played a part, you claimed he explained it

Your first claim is completely false and denies her both her considerable talent and how she connected with audiences.

You now claim Harvey "played a part" in her meteoric rise. This is still not supported by the facts. Her highlights before she ever made a picture with the Weinstein company include

Oscar nomination for best actress Lead actress in Jodie Foster film (a director who knows a thing or two about acting) An X-men movie And a little thing called The Hunger Games that did $700 million worldwide. Her meteoric rise had happened by the time Silver Linings Playbook came out. She would still be a giant Hollywood Star if she didn't get that part. The four Hunger games movies have grossed $3 billion and her other movies have grossed another 2.5.

She didn't have to go meet Harvey or the director to get the part. In fact, she auditioned over Skype from North Carolina where she was filming.
