: Get ready, world: Here comes Michael Moore (who invited his fellow documentary nominees on the stage to stand in solidarity):
We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times… We have fictitious election results… A fictitious President… We have a a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons… We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. [cue music] Anytime you’ve got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.
And indeed it is.
Boos abound.
:Steve Martin: “Aw, it was so sweet backstage. You should see it. The Teamsters are helping Michael Moore into the trunk of his limo.”
Cheers.
