Whoa. On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from
Canada, I'd like to thank the Academy for this. I have invited my fellow
documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to — they're
here in solidarity with me because we like nonfiction. We like nonfiction
and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have
fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a
time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether
it's the fiction of duct tape or fiction of orange alerts we are against
this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you
got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up. Thank you
very much.

Michael Moore, Oscar winner for documentary feature "Bowling for Columbine"
