Typical AP reporting. No where does it mention that the movie contains absolute falsehoods. Falsehoods that they even know to be untrue.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"This man should have be hung as a traitor."

Lardass would break the rope.

[mrsmith]

"best documentary "?

They should choose a documentary as 'best documentary'.

They can create a new category for his fiction if they want to honor butter brain.
"Best anti-western" maybe.

[Soul Seeker]

Well, it's not a documentary. He was right not to pursue that category.

"The Passion of the Christ" is the picture that deserves to win the Oscar.

F/9-11 is the Religion of Hollywood.

Which do we think will win?

[Mike1973]

Moore is an idiot. His picture will not win best documentary, because it is so full of holes and lies, that he can't win.

His movie will not be on TV, because of the boycotts that will follow the station that plays it. So, his ideas are bull either way. His name has not been in the news for a week, so he has to do something to inflate his glutenous ego.

[concerned about politics]

"For me the real Oscar would be Bush's defeat on Nov. 2,"

Oh well. Better luck next time, Moore.

[Fintan]

Yeah, he's a hardcore socialist...

 

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Well, Hollywood will certainly then have a stark choice: The Passion of the Christ vs. Michael Moore's Lies and Schlock. Christ vs. a bulbous barrel of satanic blubber.

Chances are Hollywood wouldn't be able to see the difference.

[tkathy]

If Bush wins Nov 2, Moore could be given an award for having turned many voters away from the dims and to Bush.

dont fly to close to the sun fatboy!

[asgardshill]

Michael Moore says he won't submit "Fahrenheit 9/11" for consideration as best documentary at this year's Academy Awards. Instead, he's going for the bigger prize of best picture.

Good. That'll keep him off the stage and his mouth shut when it doesn't win Best Picture (and it doesn't have a chance in hell of doing so). If Moore was looking for an additional national stage on which to shovel his bilge, he just screwed up big time.

[AmericanCheeseFood]

Good, he won't get ****.

Passion is so many times more successfull than that crockumentary that puke put out.

Only way he can get one of those meaningless awards for best picture is to be the biggest American hating scumbag out there.

Wait, he is.

[gopwinsin04]

This is a huge gamble. Moore is banking that the hard core lefties will carry the day and vote against the Passion of the Christ.

[Styria]

He needed a category that would accept fictional works. He doesn't want to get his award revoked later.

[mylife]

I saw it as well.

Does it raise questions? yes

does it tap emotion? yes

Is it a GREAT film? hell no!

Perhaps he is going for best picture because he knows he will be called out on the lies if he submuits for best DOCUMENTARY

[crazyhorse691]

Thought all along that M&Mboys ego would take him there. Remember how Ghandi beat out E.T for the best movie? Given the preferences of the Hollywierds I expect the same. And can't you just imagine the garbage that would spew forth from the podium? I would watch just to see if M&Mboy turns purple and bursts scattering bits of himself all over the leftist audience. Excuse me. I have given myself the jeebies and have to go soak for several hours in antiseptic.

[Mike Darancette]

I thought 9-11 was disqualified from Oscar contention because it was shown on Cuban TV and distributed with the authors permission on the Internet.

[tomnbeverly]

Michael Moore should be brought up on charges of sedition. The country is at War...

[Norman Arbuthnot]

The Passion of the Christ simply will not win Best Picture, under any circumstances.

The Academy would give the Best Picture award to Dodgeball before they gave it to TPC.

[Soul Seeker]

I vote to move the Oscars to late October. F/9-11 beats "TPOTC" and Moore gives his acceptance speech. hehe. Imagine the backlash on the eve of the election!
