This is a great move! Why? Most Americans probably don’t know about the UK High Court ruling that Gore’s contains serious “inaccuracies.” But they do pay attention to the Oscars...
I believe you’re right... It will take this story out of the political arena (something many Americans don’t pay attention to), out of the science arena (which barely ever gets reported on outside trade journals), and into the Entertainment arena where we ALL know the majority of Americans know WAY more about than either of the two preceding subjects! Hollywood is like America’s “Royalty” and I think this is a brilliant move!
Now, I wonder if anyone will suggest they should take away his Nobel Prize? Don’t worry I won’t hold my breath!
