Oscar Nomination
Documentary Feature: "Deliver Us From Evil," "An Inconvenient Truth," "Iraq in Fragments," "Jesus Camp," "My Country, My Country."
Yes it would be better to be President but winning the Oscar would be kinda cool. What do you think of Al's chances?

A nitpick, but still worth mentioning: Al Gore has not been nominated for an Oscar. He's the subject of the film, not one of its creators.
And announcing a presidential run at ground zero of Hollywood glitz would be an incredibly boneheaded idea-- the 'Hollywood Al' backlash would begin within 36 hours. I'm a huge Gore fan, but IMNSHO if he's actually interested, response to his next book will have a lot more influence on any decision, because he'll be discussing the nature of political dialogue in this country.

oh, yeah. Al Gore wins hands down for documentary.
Who should win for the best fictional representation of reality?
Tonight's State of the Union Address! There is not even another contender --
Well, UNLESS it goes like this:
George stands in front of Congress [and the entire US and the world](sans smirk) and says: "Tonight I am here to announce that Dick Cheney and I are resigning our positions effective midnight tonight. We do this with great regret, but we must do it in order to prepare our defense in the World Court for the charges of Crimes Against Humanity. I won't list them here, because I haven't actually, well, you know....read them.
"The next person in order of succession is Nancy Pelosi, and although I disagree with everything she says, if I don't resign and let her take over I might end up like Saddam and I wouldn't want the world to see me wet my pants when the big moment comes. [I have to admit: Saddam didn't even flinch when he went up to the gallows --> Can't help but wonder what he was on.....]
Oh, well, back to ME -- (I wrote some signing statements that make me immune to the World Court, but I'm, heh, heh, hedging my bets)
"The best lawyer in the world (Harriet, obviously), who due to my base having a hizzyfit, couldn't make it to the Supreme Court, will represent me. Dick told me she was who I should have in my corner. I don't know why, but he chose someone else! So I guess we'll be "lawyered up by the best!" (Right, Dick? You wouldn't screw me would you? My Mom will get you if you do.)
Anyhoo, good luck, all you chumps! Have fun getting out of Iraq, and trying to undo the stuff I've done to the planet (oh, and to our economy --> we Bush's are all set because of war profiteering and all -- ok, the Cheney's are in good shape too, but I do hope their dykey daughter doesn't inherit anything). Remember that the stuff is all in place to listen to your every conversation, and read your every email! I've really accomplished so much!
Hey, where is the applause? This was supposed to last for 40 minutes because of all the applause.................."

It's Hollywood. Of course he has a good chance.
