LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Politics grabbed center stage at the Academy Awards on Sunday as the winner for best documentary, director Michael Moore
charged President Bush with waging a "fictitious war."
Wagging his finger from the stage as he was both applauded and booed by the assembled celebrities, Moore said, "We are against this war, Mr. Bush.
Shame on you."
Moore won for "Bowling for Columbine," a provocative film on the roots of gun violence in America, whose title refers to the Colorado high school
where two students massacred 13 people before killing themselves in 1999.
Moore, who received a standing ovation from the assembled celebrities, invited the other nominees for best documentary film to join him onstage in
solidarity against the war against Iraq.
"We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in a time where we have fictitious election results, that elect a fictitious president.
We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons," Moore said.
Oscar host Steve Martin joked after Moore finished speaking that "the Teamsters are helping Mr. Moore into the trunk of his limo."
and that fat fucck has any reason to be so smug. maybe if he lost some weight and got laid every now and then he might have better things to do than
make shitty movies and run his yap.

... and another point in favour of Bruce Willis: he's been refusing to do "Die Hard 4" for years now, saying something to the effect of "quit
while you're ahead" ...
