Al Gore did not win an Oscar. "An Inconvenient Truth" won for Best Documentary, and the director, Davis Guggenheim, gets to take the Oscar home. Al was allowed a photo op, holding the Oscar up for photographers, while Guggenheim did his thank yous.
Does anyone think Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar because the movie in which he acted, "Departed," won Best Picture, and Scorsese won Best Director? At least Leonardo had a nomination.
In leftland, perception trumps the facts every time.
Tony Snow, Glenn Beck, and tonight's Fox radio news are all saying Gore won an Oscar. Why?
"Tony Snow, Glenn Beck, and tonight's Fox radio news are all saying Gore won an Oscar. Why? "
Technically he didn't win for his role, but Gore did write the book (or so we've been told) by the same name, so his supports feel he's entitled to share in the Oscar.
Obviously, all of the above LOVE the idea that Gore will be emboldened to jump into the Rat race. Imagine the fractionalization that will produce!
If it allowed him to get that dig in who cares the point was made.
