Michael Moore is the man!

Anyone else see his Oscar acceptance speech!

Amazing! That man is truly a person to be proud of.

Uh, no. What'd he say?

"In contrast, filmmaker Michael Moore was booed lustily for his anti-war speech after accepting the award for best documentary feature for “Bowling for Columbine. “We like nonfiction,” Moore said, referring to his creative team. “But we live in fictitious times, where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. … We are against this war Mr. Bush. Shame on you. Shame on you.”"

That's not all he said, but that's all msnbc.com has posted so far.

Rock on Moore.

Michael Moore is the man. I am going to buy Bowling for Columbine just for that. Truly brilliant speech. He just might be the first Oscar winner to ever be booed.

I think Michael Moore just redefined coolness with that speech. If only more people had the guts to say that on live national tv.

I think Michael Moore has the biggest balls on the face of the Earth for delivering that speech. Amazingly gutsy and fearless.

Oh please! Enlighten us more with your brilliant refutation of Moore's ideals! I couldn't bear to live more than 5 seconds without another intelligent post that manages to refute Moore by simply calling him an idiot!

Why hate a guy that speaks the truth and uses common sense.

Oh right most people who support Bush hate that stuff otherwise Bush would have no reason to be in office and no one would take him seriously. Sorry my bad

Everybody that has posted seems to be proud of him and I just gave my opinion, and as for somebody who speaks the truth and uses common sense: well according to who.

Sheer balls. Cast-iron cup on that guy, like the one in Super Troopers...

Shockwave, I think it's safe to say he's being praised for having the balls to say what he said, where he said it, without fear. And it's a sentiment of course shared by most of the board, so that'll get him that much more in the way of kudos.

Great night for Detroit, though...Moore and Eminem both winners!

Well I am not even oiled up yet, you should hear some of my better insults.

He is now my new hero for saying this.

probably, but it makes people talk about it, sales are going to rise

He is ok for speaking his mind, yet its childish to go around saying that Bush is not our president. Just get over it people whether you like him or not it serves no person to spout this venom.

I have Stupid White Men. I have seen Bowling for Columbine.

He is the most intelligent American I have ever come accross (no offence to any American on here, but he is).

Thats all I have to say, and I am glad he said what he said. I want to shake hands with him and buy him a beer.

Blues Clues · Post by **Blues Clues** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 2:51 pm

Personally, I think he's a d*ckhead. Regardless of what he said, the Oscars is no place for anti-war protests. Hearing about the war would be the last thing everyone wanted to hear about. Shame on Bush? Shame on you, you've ruined everyone's evening!
