Michael Moore, Will You Marry Me? Filmmaker Michael Moore took home the Best Documentary Oscar last night for Bowling For Columbine, a movie about gun violence in the United States. He received a standing ovation from many in the crowd as he took to the stage and his acceptance speech didn't fail to disappoint.
"We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president," Moore said. "We live in a time where we have a man who's sending us to war for fictitious reasons, whether it's the fiction of duct tape or the fiction of orange alerts. We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush. Shame on you!" Moore said.
Some in the crowd applauded his sentiments, some booed but his message was heard by a billion people last night, an awesome accomplishment in an era of a government propaganda-driven U.S. media. Thank you Mr. Moore for having the guts to voice how many of us are feeling right now.
