Harvey Weinstein is ecstatic! His studio received 14 nominations total for "The Artist," "My Week With Marilyn," "The Iron Lady," "W.E.," and "Undefeated." Here's what the uber-producer is saying about all his Oscar love:

Harvey Weinstein, Co-Chairman, The Weinstein Company
The art of performing in a silent movie is a lost process, and I have to thank the director and brilliant ensemble of actors in The Artist. We wouldn't be here today without their talent. The Artist is a love letter to classic American cinema, and today the Academy gave us a love letter back.

Special congratulations also goes to Meryl Streep from The Iron Lady, Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh from My Week With Marilyn, and to all of our other film nominees including best documentary Undefeated. Today is a great day for celebrating creative courage, visionary talent, and the power of independent cinema to inspire, to entertain, and to move people in all kinds of new and exciting ways.
