And The Winner Is......Al Gore!

No doubt the award was a little politicaly twisted but Hey The man no doubt brought the so very serious topic to the fore. Isn't it ?

Between that and Fahrenheit 9/11, I guess you don't need to be factually accurate to get best documentary.

I think they run on what is the hot topic and what is in fashion lol..GLOBAL WARMING is as HOT as the next Chanel dress that Angelina Jolie is gonna wear lol..whatever is fashionable and as liberal as possible hehehehe eat your heart out O reilly..he is funny though..i watch him every night..along with cnn, abc, nbc, mnn..oh dear...

Of course I think Al Gore made that movie for political reasons, but it does bring a huge issue to everyone's attention, an issue that is being GROSSLY ignored by the current administration. Gore has always been known for being environmentally friendly. I think he most definitly rightly won, but I am sure the academy forsaw what winning an oscar would do for the documentary. I think when it won for best song, that was going a bit far, and with all of the comments made about how inspiring Gore was it was obvious it was for publicity and policital reasons. However I don't feel any of that takes away from the message of "An Inconvenient Truth". Personally I think a lot of people are pissed that some of the dems are getting smart enough to market themselves other than Washington--Hollywood has a right to their opinion too, and face it the younger generation (the larger amount of potential voters) would listen to a Hollywood role model before an old senator they've never heard of.

I think he won rightly. I didn't see the other documentaries but I loved the one he made, it's one of my favorite movies so I'm happy he won the Oscar. For the best song, I wasn't expecting that Oscar at all. I loved the song, it entered the list of my favorite, so I agreed with the nomination. But I never could imagine it would win. For me, Melissa's song was the best but Dreamgirls and its songs were more likely to win.
