DVD Talk review of "Sicko"
I read Jamie S. Rich's review of Sicko, Michael Moore's latest opus, and it is a very well-written review. But it has a mistake in it when it says that Fahrenheit 9/11 won the "Best Documentary" Oscar. Actually, that movie was never even submitted for the "Best Documentary" category by Michael Moore. He said it was to instead help give another documentary the exposure that winning would bring (Moore had already won that same category two years earlier with Bowling for Columbine so he already had an Oscar for his mantle), but also because he was hoping Fahrenheit 9/11 would get a "Best Picture" nomination instead (a longshot goal which didn't occur).
(P.S. Born into Brothels won the 2004 Best Documentary Oscar, thanks in large part to Moore's decision not to submit his own movie.)
