Joe Russo blames Harvey Weinstein for awards exclusion

Joe Russo, director of "Avengers: Endgame," claims Harvey Weinstein's influence has kept blockbuster films from winning major awards. In an interview, he said Weinstein's campaigns against mainstream movies changed how audiences view the Oscars. Russo noted that popular films won Oscars before the mid-1990s but have since been sidelined. He criticized the divisive nature of the film industry today, attributing it to a lack of cohesion and compromise. The Russo Brothers, known for their successful Marvel films, are set to return to the franchise with two upcoming projects: "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars."
