Michael Moore Winner of Best Documentary Speaks Out
It also didn't take long for some in the audience to start yelling for him to sit down -- and others to applaud what he was doing.
"I've invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us ... They are here in solidarity with me because we like non-fiction," the former Mother Jones executive editor and best selling author said obliquely.
"We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president," he said to scattered catcalls and boos and some clapping.
"We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons, whether it's the fictition of duct tape or the (fictition) of orange alerts.
"We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, and anytime you've got the Pope (and many of the voters) against you, your time is up!" he said.
Moments later, show host Steve Martin returned to the stage.
"It was so sweet backstage. You should see it," he began. "The Teamsters are helping Michael Moore into the trunk of his limo."
