Academy Stupidness:

Michael Moore made a movie that is very much in opposition to gun violence in America. In his movie, he raises such questions as, "Why are Americans so violent?" and "What is it about our society that makes us think that our problems can be solved through violence?" For this movie, he was nominated and received an Academy Award. Why then, considering the subject of his movie, does it come as a surprise that he would use a podium in front of millions of people to condemn the violence being forced upon the people of Iraq. He made his opinion very clear before the votes were cast.

Another thing that I don't understand about the Academy is their willingness to give their highest award to a Director who drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl, but will ostracize someone who voices their opinion about much more innocuous subjects.
