ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Michael Moore: Whoa. On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from Canada, I`d like to thank the Academy for this. I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to — they`re here in solidarity with me because we like nonfiction. We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it`s the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up. Thank you very much.

Da es so viele unterschiedliche Aussagen gibt noch eine Meinung:

Progressive activist Michael Moore won the Oscar and a standing ovation for BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, and came on stage to accept his award with a large group of people, most of whom, it turned out, were the other documentary filmmakers whose films were up for the same award. Moore began by saying all of those folks were on the stage because they were in agreement with what he was going to say. He then said, "We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in a time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons." He went on to say, "Same on you, Bush. Anytime you`ve got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against ya, your time is up," as the orchestra upped its volume and the mic sunk into the stage. Moore`s speech drew both boos and applause, but most of the audience sat in nervous silence.

Das Mikrofon wurde nach einer gewissen Zeit (5 min?) bei allen abgeschaltet und die Musik begann zu spielen.
Das hatte nichts mit Moore und seiner Aussage zu tun. So sind meine Kenntnisse.
Also keine Zensur, sondern Gleichbehandlung aller.

das glaubst du doch wohl selber nicht...

und die bekannt klaren kriegsgegner, die genau deshalb nicht eingeladen wurden, waren wohl auch rein zufällig nicht auf der gästeliste, was?

Das ist der einzige Hinweis auf eine Zeitbegrenzung, die finden konnte.

Shame on you, Mr Bush


Politics grabbed centre stage at the Oscars as maverick director Michael Moore charged President George Bush with waging a "fictitious war" against Iraq.

Wagging his finger from the stage, to both applause and boos, Moore said; "We are against this war, Mr Bush. Shame on you."

Moore won the Oscar for best documentary for "Bowling for Columbine", a provocative film on the roots of gun violence in America, whose title refers to the Colorado high school where two students massacred 13 people before killing themselves in 1999.

"We like non-fiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in a time where we have fictitious election results, that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons," Moore shouted, before being drowned out by the orchestra at the end of his allotted 45 seconds speech.

Moore`s outburst shattered the restraint that had marked Sunday`s Oscar ceremony where many celebrities wore discreet peace pins or peace doves on their gowns and tuxedos but otherwise kept their opinions largely to themselves.

Moore had given virtually the same speech when he won an Independent Spirit Award for "Bowling for Columbine" 24 hours earlier, but then he had greeted only with cheers.

Moore, author of the controversial but best-selling "Stupid White Men," which attacks President Bush and senior figures in his administration, told reporters backstage at Hollywood`s Kodak Theatre: "I`m an American and you don`t leave your citizenship when you enter the doors of the Kodak Theatre. That`s what`s great about being an American."

"I say tonight I put America in a good light. I showed how vital it is to have free speech in this country."

Moore however said he did not think the Oscar ceremony should have been postponed because of the war with Iraq. Oscar organizers spent much of the week agonizing over whether to go ahead or not, and decided to axe the glitzy red carpet arrivals to tone down the party atmosphere.

"I think it is important to have the Oscars and after all isn`t that what we were fighting for - our American way of life? What could be more American than the Oscars," he told reporters.
