Michael Moore's acceptance speech from People's Choice Awards...
Not a whole lot said here, but congratulations Michael Moore!

http://www.michaelmoore.com/



Thank you! Thank you very much.

We live in a great country and we all love our country very much and I am so amazed that you did this — the people of America — that you voted for this film. I can't thank you enough.

I'm honored and gratified and I know that there are many people tonight — mothers and fathers across this country — with sons and daughters in Iraq. Our prayers are with them and I dedicate this award to them tonight.

I want to thank, most of all, the people out there who voted for this. I don't want you to give up. This country is still all of ours. Not just right or left, democrat or republican, it's all of our country.

I love making movies and I'll take this as an invitation to make more ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’s.


Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

3. More Fahrenheit 9/11s!
I would be willing to wager that Barbara Boxer will have large roll in the sequel!

9. SEQUEL! SEQUEL! SEQUEL!
"November 3 2004 starring G.W.Bush and his cronies along with several flip congresspeople, even more of sexy Tammy Baldwin and our new friend Barbara Boxer!"
Michael please wear a hat, it makes me and the hamsters happy.

10. He could make a library of sequels with that bunch.
* has done so much underhanded nastiness that it will be oozing out for a while.

13. TV Nation and Awful Truth are *so* underrated
I first discovered MM when they broadcast TV Nation - I remember being really surprised they ever aired such a thing. Pure genius, the guy is awesome. And Roger and Me should be considered one of the top films of the latter 20th Century.

16. I DVRed it
It was in the second hour, so I had to sit through all the nonsense.
I also liked what Martin Sheen said about "at least their still Democracy at the People's Choice". LOL

Moore made me tear up with his speech. I'm glad I stayed up, even though I rarely watch these award thingies. Did Gibson win anything?
When I voted passion was in the list. I turned off rhe TV tight agter MM's award so ...
