I wish I had a link for this, but a few days ago on the Factor, O'Reilly had some hollywood types to discuss their effect on the election. It was stated that Moore was expecting a Best Picture for 911, when O'Reilly predicted a severe backlash. When asked about this, he repeated that if 911 even got nominated for Best Pix, there would be a major boycott of the film industry. I think we have our marching orders.
'marching orders' received! Ban all things Hollywierd! I'm so THRU with celebrities and their big fat obnoxious drivel. Along with MSM blowhard anchors. (Praying for the left and east coasts to fall away and off of Jesusland.)
I think AMPAS voters might be crazy enough to try this, but in the end they won't for one reason: money. If there is anything Hollywood really worships it's making money, and the prospect of a large-scale boycott by US moviegoers for all of 2005 over AMPAS nominating Fahrenheit 9/11 will temper AMPAS voters from doing this.
After all, they saw first-hand how a highly-successful campaign against The Reagans miniseries forced Viacom to show the miniseries on Showtime instead of CBS; CBS really feared a possible consumer boycott of the Super Bowl and Super Bowl advertisers back in November 2003.
Besides, someone else on this message thread mentioned that Fahrenheit 9/11's nomination could cause snubs of other Oscar contenders--and that will anger way too many people in the entertainment community to no end.
