Director Moore Scolds Bush from Oscar Stage

LOS ANGELES - 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."

its the Oscars, not a political ralley. people are there to be entertained, not preached.

*PinkLady* · 03-24-2003, 04:38 PM

He shouldn't have said it at an event like the Oscars, but he did have a valid point.

*ShortCake* · 03-24-2003, 04:55 PM

there is a time and a place for everything. That wasnt the time or the place to say that. I died laughing when he got booed!

Crimson and Clover · 03-24-2003, 04:57 PM

Right. The boos drowned out the two cheers he got, probably from Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins.
Michael Moore is an idiot.

°Bubbly Blonde° · 03-24-2003, 05:46 PM

heh

Ya know, i've always been a fan of Micheal Moore. I have enjoyed his films, and on these boards I have praised some of them.
I respect his opinions, but he looked foolish.

There shouldn't be booing at the Academy Awards.

Brian Damage · 03-24-2003, 09:20 PM

Michael Moore is a great documentarian, but looked like an idiot out there. I don't need to be hearing celebrities thoughts on world politics. These same fools who gave anti war speeches last night, are the same people who gave roman polanski a standing ovation for winning best director. The guy fled this country after he drugged and raped a 13 year old girl. Sorry, but the oscars pissed me off last night.

Amazing, isn't it?

Pitooey · 03-24-2003, 09:57 PM

I could not believe that they gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation too.........

What a shame........ It must've been child molesters and perverts who stood up!
