Whoa. On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from Canada, I'd like to thank the Academy for this. I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to — they're here in solidarity with me because we like nonfiction. We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up. Thank you very much.

It's really not much different than what he said in "Stupid White Men."

"And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up"

The rest was poop, but I found this amusing.

Very good, informative film. Explains a lot. Of course the hard truth is too much for many to swallow. Especially without seeing the film at all

And a good speech as well by the director on the Oscars.

Grendel, read the link posted above. Michael Moore's dreck contains about as much "documentary truth" as "Triumph Of The Will"....

I've generally like Michael Moore's stuff, and that Dixie Chicks/Pope line is good.

I liked Bowling, and I thought TV Nation and Stupid white men were excellent as well...

I initally like Rodge And Me but upon reflection most of what he did was terrorize secretaries and lobby attendants. He was just a shameless bully with a camera caloussly interrupting the workdays and livbes of ordinary americans. I'd love it if somebody with a camera crew harassed him a few times a day for a ouple of weeks - but I'd bet the mlitmillionare moore would just have his security company or lawyers shoo them away. The guy is an arrogant bully and a fraud.
