In a van down by the river
Monday, January 10, 2005

By John Gibson



From the Fearless Prediction Department: I hereby predict that Michael Moore (search) will sweep the Oscars with "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Now, I don't predict that because Moore swept the People's Choice Awards (search) — already there are indications that Moore-o-philes might have packed the Internet ballot boxes, so that result is meaningless.

And, I don't say it because the movie is good. I have no idea. I haven't seen it and don't intend to. One thing that I know for certain about that movie is that it's not a documentary. It can't be considering the statements of the moviemaker. At best, it's propaganda. At worst it's just a long press release from yet another re-defeat Bush organization.

I think Moore will sweep the Oscars because ... well, because Hollywood has to get back at the red states for their embarrassing Election Day defeat.

Remember, Hollywood and Europe had talked themselves into believing that their superior intelligence — and more nuanced world view — had swung the election in favor of Mr. Kerry. When it didn't work out that way, the silence from Hollywood was deafening. Especially so because they couldn't complain that this election had been stolen, or that Bush had been "selected" by the Supreme Court instead of "elected" by the nation.

Instead, it was a resounding defeat of everything Hollywood had put out there, including Micheal Moore's movie. This is, after all, the only business in the world where making a bucket of money isn't enough. Even turkey movies make money, so the fact Moore took home a hundred million bucks was ultimately meaningless. He didn't convince the country, which is what he set out to do. So he was embarrassed, humiliated and brought down.

You haven't heard much out of those people since the election. They drove their $100,000 cars though their electrified gates and sat in their media rooms watching their own movies over and over — "Rerun those credits again, honey" — and they plotted their revenge.

And here it comes: The Oscars. The red carpet, a billion people watching, Billy Crystal's Bush jokes and a sweep for Micheal Moore. The Academy members are filling out their ballots right now, muttering to themselves, "This will show 'em."

They're right. It will show us what we know all along.

That's My Word.

The Passion will sweep the Oscars - a film supported by the Right.
Are you as confident in that prediction as you were in the Kerry by 10% win prediction?

I don't know what island you're living on put Gibson's film is the top grossing film this - huge at the box office. Nah this film should clean up. BTW Moore's film is a documentry - a some what minor Oscar award. Considering Moore is up against another documentry about someone eating 3 meals a day at McDonalds - Moore should win easily.

BTW that commentary - who cares if it was 1 of 8, it was completely idiotic. If that comment was what you consider the best of - well I really don't want to see the rest.

You are close on The Passion..I didn't think it was that high.

Usually top grossing films don't do well at the Oscars..I am afraid.

The premise of "supersize me" is a little stupid in my opinion. Who in their right mind would go and eat fast food everyday, and what do you think happens if you do? DUH...

That is true not only for McDonalds.

Lang,

To no one's surprise I liked that op-ed piece. I'm sure the "shut up and sing" crowed is pissed and as long as 9/11 isn't running against Latte me it should be a shoe in.

As for the Passion of the Christ - yea, Hollywood has the perfect demographics for this film to win ;-)

I guess the bar isn't that high in the documentary category.

You'd be surprised who does it and you'd be surprised at how many do. Many people, as you know, are not in their right minds and do self-destructive things which they know are wrong yet are unable to stop.

Well it beat out that documentry that Swift boat guys pushed on the American people. Talk about the bar not being set to high.

I don't remember that being in the theaters? Why do you have such a hard-on for that?

I would think DQ, with his respect only for vets on these issues, would be defending their right to speak out.
