The People Have Spoken... Fahrenheit 9/11

[TXSTYLE]

21Million peeps OBVIOUSLY agree...

Monday, January 10th, 2005

Dear Friends,

Last night, at the People's Choice Awards, "Fahrenheit 9/11" was named the Best Movie of the Year. It was a stunning moment for us. And, somewhere inside the Bush White House, someone there must have been stunned, too.

21 million people voted in the People's Choice Awards. They chose our film over "Shrek 2," "Spiderman 2" and "The Incredibles." If we can beat that many superheroes, surely we can survive the next four years.

I can think of no greater honor for us this year than the award bestowed upon us last night by the American people. On live television, with no threat of my remarks being censored or cut short, I thanked all of you and the rest of our fellow Americans and dedicated the prize to the parents of our servicemen and women in Iraq, the Lila Lipscombs of America who suffer so profoundly by the reckless actions of the Bush administration.

(If you'd like to see what I said -- this time, no riot! -- you can click here. I even dressed up!)

It was an historic moment as no documentary had ever won the People's Choice Award for Best Picture. And I thank each and every one of you who voted and made that happen.

I took Congresswoman Maxine Waters and her husband as my guests last night. My family was there, too, as was some of our crew. We had a great time and I even got to meet Mel Gibson for the first time (he won a secondary prize for best film drama). More on that later!

Thanks again, and now let's get on with the serious work at hand -- winning more awards! Hahahaha. Just kidding. We have an inauguration to attend, don't we?

Yours,

Michael Moore

Booooo!!

[videcormeum]

Geez, it sure is a good thing that great countries like China exist where everyone has the same amount of money and is fairly treated.

Otherwise Michael Moore would have no hope - or direction - for mankind.

I would rather have Moore win a film award than help Kerry win the election.

I don't think 21 million voted for him, only a portion did:

21 million people voted in the People's Choice Awards.

I don't think 21 million voted for him:

TX probably voted 20 million times or so since he ordered the garbage DVD six months back or so and viewed it that amount of times since then.

wow... I have seen some weak, childish, and all around not funny comebacks on here- but this takes the cake! good lord, I have heard comebacks with more humor and tact from a four year old!

[WhiteTiger]

Some of these People Choice voters probably criticized the "red" vote states as stupid and ignorant. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black....LOL!

And this sarcasm isn't from a political standpoint, it's from a movie entertainment standpoint. C'mon, there were no better movies made in 2004 than F/911????

Of course there will be controversy. But do the People's Choice Awards REALLY reflect the views of the American public? Arguably no, CBS ditched the Gallup Poll judging this year to less expensive -- and less scientific -- Internet balloting that's easily manipulated.
I felt that 'Passion of the Christ' was a better depict documentary" IMO

Yeah........ That was pretty l a m e there sharp.

But Sharp........ What about all of those WMD's that Dubya & Co. found yesterday?

Ohhhhh, that's right......... they gave up on that farse yesterday.

[SCRUFFDOGG]

Yeah I wouldn't say that it's obvious that 21 million people agreed, but it was voted best movie of the year...so what, doesn't mean it's all true.

Sharp, that was a pretty weak post

Emerald, I agree with you, I also liked Passion better.

We gave Saddam enough warning that he moved whatever stock piles he had into Syria.

Also, I'll take this opportunity to remind you of your quote a few months back.
