The only reason I’m posting this is because Errol Morris was okay with doing the same, but I have to say, it’s hilarious:
Dear Errol

Aaaand … Morris wasn’t nominated.
Say what you like about Harvey, but he knows his audience.

That’s awesome. “If you continue to be boring, I will hire an actor in New York to pretend he’s Errol Morris”. So good. What a champ.

To be fair to Morris, Guy, The Thin Blue Line was disqualified from the Best Documentary Feature category, and it didn’t really stand a chance of getting a Best Picture or Best Director nomination.

True. I’d forgotten that.

After reading that, I had to check the date to make sure it didn’t say April 1.

To be fair, Harvey may have had a point. As a producer, he’s brilliant. He’s insufferable and pain to be with but he’s a born producer who gets it.
I just wish he was also an objective kind of guy.
P.S. The last line is hilarious given everything that came before it.

One more thing: Harvey could have hired Philip Glass ;) .

I wish I could get away with communicating like that with people in my life. You can’t help but giggle at that.

I have a feeling he’s on the verge of sending Christoph Waltz a similar letter. He always looks pissed whenever the camera cuts to him during a Waltz speech.

I’m beginning to think that’s just the expression Harvey naturally bears. He just kind of snarls.

I think that warrants a “LOL!”
