Harvey Weinstein vs. the National Rifle Association "Philomena" and "August: Osage County" did well for the Weinstein Company in the nominations, even if another of its hopefuls, "Lee Daniels" The Butler" came away empty-handed. But Harvey Weinstein still managed to grab attention in a different way by announcing on Howard Stern's radio show that he was joining Meryl Streep - picking up her 18th nomination, for best actress for "August" - in a secret anti-gun movie project. Saying he thought the National Rifle Association was "a disaster area," Mr. Weinstein said the film was intended to make the organization "wish they weren't alive."
