Nikki Finke is maybe the only journalist/blogger (certainly one of the tiny few) who can assemble the likes of Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Tom Ortenberg, Ryan Kavanaugh, Jeff Robinov and other CEOs/presidents/top-level executives of Hollywood into one room for 60 minutes to talk about the industry during awards season, in an event that also included the participation of members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and select Hollywood guilds.
