The Hollywood Trial of the Century marched on in Delaware yesterday, as lawyers continued to parade in pointy-headed academic types to testify about Disney's misguided hiring of erstwhile mega-agent Michael Ovitz. On Monday, an executive pay consultant said that Ovitz's $8.5 million base salary and bonus were "out of line" with that of other corporate "Number Two" guys. The defense argued that the consultant's assessment didn't take into account that Ovitz was earning $20-$25 million a year as head of CAA, where he made sure that his clients were similarly wildly overpaid. The plaintiff, however, failed to land a crushing blow by mentioning Ovitz's weekly "five minutes in the closet with Minnie Mouse" perk, a corporate benfit that was usually reserved for CEO Michael Eisner. Hopefully, this information will be brought to light when Ovitz testifies today.
