Miramax, with Chicago and Gangs of New York among other movies in contention, drew 40 nominations yesterday. Last time a single studio cornered the market to the same extent was back in 1940. So the New York Times gives Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of Miramax, his due. Everyone's making nice to Weinstein again, even Martin Scorsese, with whom he famously clashed during the making of Gangs. Well, not entirely.

When asked whether he had received a congratulatory call this morning from Mr. Weinstein, Mr. Scorsese said, "Yeah, but I haven't called him back yet." And then he burst into devilish laughter.
