There are at least two campaigns right now to revoke Michael Moore’s Oscar :

Bowling for Columbine violated the Academy’s own rules. These limit the documentary competition to nonfiction films. Bowling isn’t nonfiction. Whenever it was necessary to his theme, Moore invented facts, fabricated events, staged scenes, or doctored the depiction of what actually happened.

Have these guys even read the Academy’s rules?

An eligible documentary film is defined as a theatrically released non-fiction motion picture dealing creatively with cultural, artistic, historical, social, scientific, economic or other subjects. It may be photographed in actual occurrence, or may employ partial re-enactment, stock footage, stills, animation, stop-motion or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact and not on fiction.

Since revoketheoscar.com begins with a condemnation of Moore’s film as “a nasty bit of anti-American propaganda”, it’s hard to believe that they’re concerned about the integrity of the documentary as an art form or that somehow the Academy has tainted its legacy by awarding an Oscar to a film that contains numerous half-truths. Any film lover will tell you, the Oscars rarely go to the films that deserve it the most. Hell, they gave Forrest Gump an Oscar over Pulp Fiction. (I thought Roger and Me was much better than Bowling for Columbine).
