Michael Moore's acceptance speech at the oscars last nite when he won for his movie Bowling for Columbine

On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from Canada, I'd like to thank the Academy for this.
I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to — they're here in solidarity with me because we like nonfiction.
We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times.
We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president.
We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons.
Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush.
Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you.
And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.
Thank you very much.


Not saying I agree or disagree. Just wanted to show that atleast one person attempted to "shock and awe" at the oscars last nite. This speech was impaled by some very heavy booing. Now that's an acceptance. One that will be remembered for a long time.
