5. done...do these people think this poll will negate the fact that F911

9. Gross should have nothing to do with nomination
Don't get me wrong, I think it should be nominated. I thought it was very well done.

Its just, I found your reasoning a bit objectionable. Probably because I hated movies like Titanic...

LOL

8. I heard that he passed on entering for best documentary
so that he can try to show F911 on TV.

6. That is interesting, though
As of right now, it stands:

Best picture - 31% - 945 votes

Best documentary - 26% - 796 votes

Shouldn't be nominated at all - 43% - 1302 votes


Michael Moore is winning here.

But its still early. Once the reich wing really gets going, once they each vote ten or fifteen times, then it will get more skewed.

10. Right-Support for Moore is split in two
So really 57% are for him winning an Oscar somehow someway.

This could be interesting. Clearly the movie is the best documentary by a long way. It may also be the best picture. I wish Mr. Moore some luck here.

13. bullshit poll
there are 2 "yes" answers designed to split the pro-Moore crowd and one meaty "no" answer for the anti-crowd.

you actually have to do mental math, in your head, to get the real results. Yes1 + Yes2 = Yes_total. Yes_total - no_answers = who_is_winning.

Not that its hard, the problem is, most people online want to see the data fast and clear. And clearly the "no's" have it because it has the largest number.

As I said, this is bullshit, designed (once again buy those CNN fuckers) to give you the impression that Moore is hated in this country (not true at all!) without actually lying.

21. And the "yes" answers are ringing endorsements, while
Edited on Tue Sep-07-04 01:40 PM by Cat Atomic
the "no" answer is only lukewarm. A person can agree with Moore's message and still not believe the film deserves either Best Picture or Best Documentary awards.

It's like asking:

Is Kraft Cheese:

A. The best thing ever
B. The best cheese ever
C. Unremarkable

Ah! Most people responded negatively! Everyone hates Kraft cheese!
