Will 9/11 be nominated for best picture?
Just want to know what people think,do you think that 9/11 could become the first documentry to be nominated for best picture.Also do you think it will be nominated for best documentry and best picture or just one or the other?

I would think it would be a lock for the Documentary category.
I would imagine, if the members of the academy wanted to make a statement, it could receive enough votes to be nominated for Best Picture. I'd tend to doubt this would happen. As was evidenced by the cheers along with boos when he gave his speech when winning the Oscar, there's a lot of division in the Hollywood community.
So, I don't see it happening.

If it is, then I think there will be need for a new forum area on DVDTalk set aside exclusively for bitching about Michael Moore.

Here is a link to the story that made me start thinking 9/11 might actually be nominated for best Picture

I don't see it getting nominated for Best Picture, but I can definitely see Michael Moore being nominated for Best Director and/or Best Original (?) Screenplay in addition to being nominated for Best Feature Length Documentary.

Not a chance, though, as he can't even say three words without effing up his lines.
I'm still chuckling over "Abu Garef."

You think they'll even give him a chance to get up on stage again after the last time? Like a great man once said... "Fool me once, shame on... ... ....shame on you. But foolmah can't get fooled again."

I am not a micheal moore hater, but I don't really see whats so great about the movie, its a pretty good documentry, but best picture, give me a break, then again all the winners win because of money or politics, so it could happen

Not a htaer either but there is no way it will be nominated for best picture when it has it's own section to be nominated in.

If this picture does win "Best Documentary," do you think Moore will decline on the basis that he never claimed the film to be a documentary? I don't think so.

Moore has always called this a documentary. What are you talking about?

Early prediction (and yes, I know you'll all think I'm crazy): "Fahrenheit 9/11" will win Best Documentary AND either Best Picture or Best Director.
Which is quite disturbing, since it wasn't even a very good movie.

There are more, and if you're really that curious, I suggest you comb the other Moore threads.
