Guest web_norah Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 **for a movie that toasts a lot "bs" (according to the conservatives), people chose it as best film. hmmm. the irony.Two contentious films, Fahrenheit 9/11 and The Passion of the Christ, were the big winners at this year's People's Choice awards, chosen by the American public. The very different movies won the best film and best film drama honours respectively.This was the first year that the public was able to vote online, which was doubtless influential in securing gongs for two films which inspired strong passions among admirers and critics. Twenty-one million votes were cast online."To me, really, this is the ultimate goal because one doesn't make work for the elite," said Mel Gibson, director of The Passion. "To me, the people have spoken."Michael Moore, who directed Fahrenheit 9/11, dedicated his award to the soldiers in Iraq."This country is still all of ours, not right or left or Democrat or Republican," Moore told the audience.Other winners included Shrek 2, which took top film comedy and top animated film, while Johnny Depp was named favourite male movie star. Julia Roberts was top female movie star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest slamminshaun Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Michael Moore is the BEST thing that ever happened to the Republican party. Democrats, if they were smart, would tell this guy to stay out of the spotlight. He's one of the main reasons they keep losing elections. Michael Moore appears to represent the main ideology of the Democrat party, which does not represent the mainstream of American culture. Maybe someday, the Dems will give Joe Lieberman the shot he deserves..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tres-b Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Interesting how two completely different movies took home awards.Did you see the pic of Moore in the suit and glasses? He still looks like a fat slob.Good for him for making some $$$ by putting out lies and misinformation. The guy is a smart businessman. His movies are to documentaries what the WWE is to sports.

I just think he points out some of the misleading parts of F911. My only point is that I think it’s important that people see that F911 is not a documentary, but instead a political-spin movie…Please let me know if you find any of his information to be incorrect. That is just as important to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make a documentary, you dont have the liberty to create stories/lies that were not there. That is my problem w. the movie. There are too many stories that Moore wanted to tell that were not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cosmigonon Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Well, even though I oposse bush politics, I kinda realized 911 seemed waaaay to biased. But that's just my opinion without having seen the actual movie, maybe it'll change, but the trailers alone kept me away from it :-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
