27-Year-Old Mega-Producer Megan Ellison Could Win All The Oscars
LatestMegan Ellison, the 27-year-old film wunderkind producer (and daughter of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison), walked away with two Producers Guild of America nominations earlier this week for Her and American Hustle. These awards are considered a good predictor of which films will be nominated for the Oscars. What this means, of course, is that Ellison, a relative newcomer, could be nominated for two films and have her first Academy Award gathering dust on her fireplace before she’s 30. Somewhere right now Harvey Weinstein shifted uncomfortably just thinking about it. And with good reason, none of the films Weinstein produced this year were nominated for the Producers Guild Awards — not even Scary Movie 5. Ellison’s other biggest competitor, Scott Rudin, was nominated for only one film — Captain Phillips.
