I thought it ( the movie-farenheit 911) wasn't qualified because the movie was shown on TV..and that is why it wasn't considered...nothing to do with the fat man's politics....but he did break the rules for a nomination.

I can't imagine even Hollywood celebrating the hateful lie propaganda film that was F 9/11 now.
Throwing Moore under the bus is a ugly image... might wreak the bus in the process!

Everybody in Hollywood is on a diet.
He's obviously part of the 'in' crowd.

"First, Michael Moore threw his creative weight and his celluloid into defeating President Bush's reelection."
I misread that at first. I thought it said, creative weight and his cellulite. LOL!

Hollywood allowed and celebrated the use of it's meeting called "The Oscars" last night to be used as a circle jerk over Moore's bogus "documentary". By applauding the spew from Chris Rock at the beginning of their award show. What Rock said was scripted by the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences. So when Chris Rock praised Moore and bashed Bush he did so in the name of everyone in the room last night. Who, of course, applauded like trained seals or chimps.
The "Oscars" are a farce anyway. People that make movies and the movies themselves are are fakery. What's funny is when someone like Rock or Babs or Alex Baldwin comment on reality. Something they are far removed from but don't seem to realize they are.
By the way, Chris Rock will never be the Oscar host again. He was a disaster. Not that it matters in the scheme of things to those that realize that movies and TV are almost 100% disconnected from reality.

What really killed Rock was the tribute to Johnny Carson, which showcased Johnny's class and good humor as the Oscar host. Seldom has a comparison been drawn as starkly.

I was told that the MC praised MM for his F911! Chris Rock and MM - perfect together for the self adoration party of the movie industry!
I read Mark Levin's book last night.
To: knighthawk
The conservatives/right were also snubbed (i.e., Passion of the Christ)
WHen a movie that is the 2nd grossing of all time is snubbed, that is a real snub.

Newt Gingrich said it best in his book, WINNING THE FUTURE, when he wrote; "We need to broadcast our civic culture so that the Arab world gets a different view of the West than what it gets fron Al Jazeer and Michae Moore." Alex Wysocki--Delaware Conservative Caucus.

"...and I have known a few!'"I'll bet you have, Doug.
"...and that's saying a lot."
I'll bet it is, Doug.
Meanwhile, the Left is baffled--baffled--by what the American people could possibly mean by moral values.

"Urbanski believes that Moore hates America, hates capitalism, and hates any normal concept of freedom and democracy. This seems odd considering that if it weren't for America, freedom and capitalism, Moore's brand of expression and capitalistic success would be impossible, if not illegal. "Michael Moore could not withstand Michael Moore's' scrutiny for more than fifteen seconds," Urbanski said. "
Really? Who knew
Too bad for Michael. . .had Kerry won. . .this Hollywood/Liberal PATSY; would be, today. . .a great American PATRIOT. . .
In Hollywood. . .you play. . .you win. . .you lose. . .

Europeans
adored John Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. Why not Michael Moore? To them, he's probably a
great artiste, on a par with Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Praxiteles. They consider Kennedy, Carter, and Clinton
great statesmen. What's the difference?
The bottom line is that Europe is decadent. So is the American Left; Hollywood is a symptom.
Thank God for the American Heartland.

Michael Moore made a bumper sticker and put it out there as a movie. It failed to get the job done and so, like all bumper stickers, it got tossed. I couldn't care less about any of these movies, but from what I've read, maybe Hollywood's new cause is euthanasia and Eastwood's movie is a more current bumper sticker.
Tuning in to the Oscar ceremonies is about as useful as watching a documentary on the bathing habits of the French.

"Has Hollywood figured out what Moore is really about? Was that why he was snubbed? " Last night he was referred to as a hero in the opening of the show. They were showing scenes from different movies with a narration and said something like "we discovered new heros" when Moores pic was up. That was about all we saw of the show, other then Jamie Fox winning for Ray.
I do like to watch the red carpet just to see what everyone was wearing. I was disappointed with the dress Star Jones wore...very unbecoming IMHO.

"Seldom has a comparison been drawn as starkly." All the Carson clips that surrounded his passing did that for me. It really showed us that Jay Leno ain't no Carson!

Maybe Eastwood should make a movie about a female boxer and old trainer where the female boxer gets suckerpunched and ends up paralyzed from the neck down. The female boxer does not want to live anymore and the old trainer kills her. Then, a week after her death doctors discovers a way to cure the injury the now dead boxer had and if she had lived she would be just fine.

So true. Leno basically turned the Tonight Show into a bland, slick, predictable forum for entertainers to hawk their latest movie, TV show or CD. Carson's Tonight was like an ongoing party and you seldom knew who was going to pop up there, or what was going to happen. Quite often, a guest would show up ostensibly to promote a new movie, and the conversation would be about everything but the movie.
