Poll question: Is Fahrenheit 911 going to win the highest award (The Palme d'Or)
Do you think Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 911 will win the highest award (the Palme d'Or award) for a feature film at the Canne Film festival?

1. Will it be nominated for the BIG Oscar?????

Especially considering the "overwhelming dominance of liberals" in Hollywood. ;-)

2. Geez, I hope not.
It's one thing to allow a documentary at Cannes, but the Palm D'Or? To me that's the most meaningful of all film awards and though nothing is above politics, the Pal D'Or should be about aesthetic politics, not politics politics.

BTW, I'm sure Fahrenheit 911 is a good movie. But it's a documentary.

3. Art is more than just aesthetics
Maybe it really is that good. None of us can make that judgment yet.
