Disinformation from another site. Moore refused to allow a free showing on network TV for the sole reason that it would be immediately disqualified from contention for an Academy Award. Moore believes he has a shot at Best Picture with F/911 (the first documentary style film to do so IIRC) and would not risk losing that chance. In fact, he withdrew his film from the documentary category to gain credability for it as a film against traditional productions (according to IMDB News). Money was not an issue with Moore, the politics of the Academy was.

That's a pretty lame excuse. If he really wants to spread his message then he shouldn't be worried about the fancy little statue. [/b][/quote]
Perhaps the exposure of the Oscars; which is large, is another way to get his message of big government out there. Too llate for election but not to take shots at the neo cons or republicans.
