No single person is more prolific on the movie awards circuit than Harvey Weinstein, who industriously campaigns his movies to scoop up as many awards as possible.

However, when Mel Brooks took to the stage to accept his Fellowship, the comic legend said, "I want to thank Harvey Weinstein for having nothing to do with this award tonight", to the uproarious laughter of the whole room, including Weinstein himself.

Brooks may be 90 years of age, but he hasn't lost a step as far as his signature quick wit goes. What a guy.
