Famed US documentary maker Michael Moore predictably used his win of an Oscar to launch a violent attack on US President George W. Bush and war in Iraq amid loud boos from the audience. "We live in fictitious times," he said when picking up the award for best fictitious documentary for his anti-gun film "Bowling for Columbine." "We live in a time with fictitious election results that elect fictitious presidents. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons.
"We live in a time where fictitious innalekshuls display fictitious innaleck..."
"We are against this war Mr Bush. Shame on you. Shame on you!," he said to loud boos from an audience of 3,500 including most of Hollywood's top stars.
Hmmm... Takes a lot to get booed for one's dumbass statements in Gollywood. But Mikey's got a lot...
When he went backstage at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre to face reporters, Moore was unapologetic for his outburst. "I'm an American, and you don't leave your citizenship when you enter the doors of the Kodak Theater. What's great about this country is that you can speak your mind," he said.
"If any..."
He said that, far from being appalled, many fictitious people in the audience stood up to applaud him. "I say tonight I showed myself to be a traitorous dumbass put America in a good light," he said praising the decision to push ahead with the Oscars despite the war raging in the Middle East. "I showed how vital it is to have trivial free speech in our country and all Americans have the right to stand up and make fools of themsleves for what they believe in," he said. |
