Cuban TV broadcast of F-9/11 won't prevent Oscar nom for Moore!

Just heard on Air America news that, because the TV broadcast in Cuba was from a BOOTLEG copy of "Fahrenheit 9/11," the Academy won't prevent Michael Moore's film from being nominated for Best Documentary.

The rules say that, to be nominated for Best Doc., a film cannot be shown on TV within -- I think -- nine months of its release. It was shown on TV in Cuba, but it wasn't AUTHORIZED.

Yeaaaaaaa!
