Michael Moore's Oscar gambit

We haven't seen Moore's last sigh yet. It's good he is not submitting Fahrenheit 9/11 in the Documentary Category. I watched it twice. And I am convinced it doesn't belong to the documentary category. It is a mockudrama. Though created using real footage, it's twisted truth at its best.

George Bush doesn't have much brains, but this guy has got a lot of mess up there. Bush may have a screw or two loose, but this guy is all screwed. It's fine to make a film and want as many people as possible to see it. But wanting as many people as possible to see it before the presidential election says a lot about his bias.

A documentary is supposed to be more a document than an exercise in unexplained biased opinion. By turning his film into a campaign commercial for the Democrats, Moore has sullied his own images as a brilliant documentary maker. Bowling for Columbine was proof of his talent.

Even accepting an election campaign material for an Oscar, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would end up sullying its own image. If they do then what's wrong with the Pepsi commercials?
