The Oscar Race is On!
Moore did not want his film to compete in the Documentary (which it is not) and since the Acadamy does not currently have a catagory for Anti-American socialist claptrap with no thought to the truth... it was not nominated.

For those with a large neck size but short neck, when you have a shirt made ask for a disappearing neck band. It has a...- Fuente
