I'm sure it will win...

[flashbunny]

probably because he knows if he submits it for best documentary, there will be tons of people able to show falsehoods all throughout the movie.

Critically acclaimed? LOL, oh really? By whom?

It's a farce and everyone knows it's a farce.

[eclectic]

Do they have a nomination category for the best fabrication?

[DoughtyOne]

You know what, I hope it does win. It will once and for all frame the Oscars for what they are, worthless.

Moore's film has been disqualified by the Academy's own rules. Since it was aired on television in Cuba by his buddy Castro, Michael Moore's film cannot be nominated or selected as a winner in any Academy Award category.

And if the Academy tries to bend the rules for Moore, I think we should let them know what we think...and in spades.

[A CA Guy]

No, he won't win, because there are too many real directors who have skills and work hard. They won't throw another's just desserts away for that man. Even they would not do that for such a talentless windbag.

[weegee]

I thought that I heard that he had already considered taking the film out of the running if he can find a network to air it on the eve of the election.

I hope it wins. Saving Private Ryan losing to Shakespeare in Love was when I stopped watching that stupid parade of leftwingers. This will be icing on the cake and show the country what a joke hollywood is.

[longtermmemmory]

I doubt the suits of the accademy will allow advertisers to flee a program praising moore.

Think about the mere fallout from such a move. ALL other nominees would instantly "disappear" and it would become the michael moore show. (which is what moore is intentially doing)

[thegreatbeast]

This is funny. Moore thinks he's leading a Hollywood pack but the big Oscars are big money acquisitions. No one is going to let a fat little "documentary" filmmaker into their big money game.

[Che Chihuahua]

Well, it is a work of total fiction, so why not submit it for best (sic) picture. This is a strange world where such an untalented man could even be considered for an Oscar. I suppose that this is his demand for payback from the neo-commies who support Kerry. I'd like to find out which democrat "527" helped provide funding for this crap in a film can.

[elder5]

Michael Moore says he won't submit "Fahrenheit 9/11" for consideration as best documentary. Why? Is Garfield up for best documentary also?

[mass55th]

If he's going after the Best Film Oscar, then he's admitting that it isn't truthful.

[WestTexasWend]

This also gives the acadamy the weak excuse it needs to NOT pick "The Passion" (assuming it's been entered).
