What do you think of Michael Moore getting shunned by the Oscars?

According to mainstream TV media, Michael is the "most disappointed" person in the country as far as people seeking academy awards. Apparently he did everything under the sun to lobby for his movie F9/11 to be nominated for Best Picture, and it didn't happen...no nomination this time. They said he took on a personal trainer, lost a bunch of weight, got a haircut, shaved, dressed up, and blah blah blah in his attempt at promoting his film for Best Picture after finding out it wouldn't qualify for Best Documentary.

I loved the film; it was more powerful than I thought. Just because it wasn't nominated doesn't mean it wasn't as good as we all know it is. Personally, though, I think Michael should've just laid back and let his film do the talking and let his legacy be decided on its own merits.

What do you think of the "clean cut" stuff that went on a while back, though? Is that what he was up to, in regards to promoting himself and the film?
