Oscar nominations are in, and Fahrenheit 9/11 received
zero nominations:
Michael Moore, a 2002 documentary winner for "Bowling for Columbine," missed out on nominations this time with his hit "Fahrenheit 9/11." Moore decided against entering "Fahrenheit 9/11" in the documentary category to boost its prospects for best-picture and other categories, but the film failed to earn any nominations.
Funny, I always thought the decision was made because a film has to have at least some factual basis to be considered a documentary.
Maybe this is Hollywood reaching out to Red State America? A la Hillary's bogus pro-life comments and her sudden interest in faith-based initiatives? Or ... maybe the movie just sucked.
ReplyDeleteYou can nominate it, but it is judged on the criteria for the category in which it's entered. So, they made a statement didn't they?
