Say what you will about Michael Moore's Oscar acceptance speech^*, you have to admit that a plurality of the Academy voted for him knowing full well that's the way he'd use his 45 seconds. (I wouldn't be surprised if a sizeable percentage of his votes came from people for precisely that reason.)

^* Still, I think it was a mistake for him to rant, in this circumstance. "Hollywood" is already under attack as it is from the intolerant jingo sharks. Moore just poured more blood into the water.
