Mickey Moore Totally Out of Oscar Contention

Well the Flatulent Fool From Flint Failed to get into the Oscar contention for best picture.
Hurray!
Though this news article is a bit suspect.

Michael Moore's Bush-bashing Fahrenheit 9/11 lost its bid to become the first documentary nominated for best picture. And Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ was nominated for cinematography, score and makeup.

"Fahrenheit 9/11 won the top prize at Cannes, the People's Choice Award, opened No. 1 at the box office and grossed ($220.7 million) worldwide," Moore said. "That's more good fortune than any film deserves for one year."

Fahrenheit would have been a contender for best documentary, a category Moore's Bowling for Columbine won in 2003. But his decision to air the movie on TV before the presidential election disqualified it in the documentary category. And Bush's re-election cooled passion for the film. "With who's in the White House, it was too political," says Kamal Larsuel of the movie site 3blackchicks.com.

I want someone to tell me how Farehfarce qualifies as a documentary. Beyond the deceptive editing and the outright errors, how is that a documentary?

So maybe the academy isn't a complete farce this year?

Gibson's "Passion of Christ" didn't get in either, but he didn't even try.
