BillsNYC Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Michael Moore's gamble to hold his hit film "Fahrenheit 9/11" out of the documentary category -- to boost its best-picture prospects -- backfired. The movie was shut out across the board. Moore won the documentary prize two years ago for "Bowling for Columbine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toledo Bill Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Maybe the documentary about him dropping dead due to obesity will win someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Michael Moore's gamble to hold his hit film "Fahrenheit 9/11" out of the documentary category -- to boost its best-picture prospects -- backfired. 218263[/snapback] Don't know if it really backfired - he got plenty of extra attention by this action. Sales of the movie were not going to increase because it would have that sticker saying "best documentary" on it like other movies have in the past. He and his movies are beyond that level now (whether you like them or not isn't an issue.) There is only ever one spot, if any, for a non-major studio film in that category and Sideways got the vote this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of having the world's stage for 2 minutes had he won the documentary award, he won't even be an afterthought on the night of the event.
