Funny how a film can win top honors that has never been shown to the public. The ends justifies the means I guess in a liberal world.

Its amazing how unplugged you are.......the Palme d'Or and the Oscar are awards given by the peers of film makers and actors....... and are not dependent on box office success. The Oscars require that a film be shown in at least a few theaters in NYC and LA so that members of the academy can see it publicly instead of having a private showing. The release date also establishes in what year a film is vying for an Oscar.

Apparently, the Cannes F. F. doesn't have the same requirements. In this case, its a good thing......Moore's inability to get a distributor is a classic example where that kind of requirement makes good sense.

I know the above can be confusing to a Bush supporter's mind so please read slowly. ;~))
