F 9/11 beats Spiderman 2, the Incredibles, Shrek 2 as best movie in the People Choice

Note, I think this is the right place for this post, but if the mods think of a better place, please feel free to move it

OK, I am sorry, but this People Choice was wrong!

Favorite Movie

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Fahrenheit 9/11
The Incredibles
Shrek 2
Spiderman 2

Now, which was the BEST film....

The last three I think had the best OVERALL stuff..

Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore is a great editor and can make movies (not documentaries, since he doesn't just show the facts), and it was somewhat entertaining, but I think that the last three split the vote, and a strong campaign by Michael Moore (taking out ads on certain websites and saying "click here to vote" made a big deal in the vote). This was the first year that the Gallup Poll folks did not run the award decisions, instead it was just an internet vote, that had no real way to restrict how many votes one person could make (while other sites have done things like limit one vote per IP address, or e-mail address), no prevention methods were taken in this poll....

Here is the full list of nominees...

But at least Shrek 2 won everything else they were nominated for

Wow, and I think it's high time this popularity award went to what the people thought was the most important movie rather than the best movie entertainment.

I belive F/911 campainged pretty hard for this, and frankly I'm glad the message seems to have got through.

Wow, and I'm glad this popularity award went for once to the most important film instead of merely the most entertaining.

I belive F9/11 campaigned pretty heavily for this one, and I'm glad their message seems to have got thru.

Looks like I need to re-post a couple of links that should have been in the original post...

First the AP story that lists all the award winners....

And the entire list of nominees...

F911 is the best film of the year. And I derive some pleasure in knowing that in a hundred years MM's film will still be seen and studied (and debated). Ultimately, Georgewbush's legacy will be that of a clown -- and for me, that bit of knowledge almost makes up for his win last November. Welcome to your place in History, Mr. Bush, will you be requiring a bib?

The people have spoken.

Once again the masses have proven that being popular is more important than being right.

Exactly. That's how I feel about Mel's film winning best drama.

Which is precisely why you will never see Bush do anything regarding border control, among other things.
