“I am grateful to the leadership of the Academy as well as the voters for returning integrity and balance to a revered and respected national iconic organization,” the noted producer wrote in a letter Thursday to Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. “On behalf of my fellow filmmakers and the vast American Heartland which, on occasion, has felt disenfranchised by the Academy, I want to personally thank you and the Academy for removing Mr. Moore and restoring a fair and impartial voting process to the documentary category of the Oscars,” he added.

Well maybe now Moore will have the time to make more documentaries. He is one hell of a director/producer.
It looks as though his removal was due to his personal political beliefs and the fact he did not put 2016: Obama's America at the top of a nomination list.
I agree with that decision. It was a bad film and to nominate it would be like nominating Alex Jones for one of his "documentaries".
But in the end...this was all about politics.
And it was Moore’s famously liberal beliefs that prompted Molen to seek his removal as a governor overseeing the process of nominating documentaries
His work is very deceptive.
I think Michael Moore is a Hypocrite.
No different then a lobbyist in my eyes.
He is a progressive nazi scum bag.

Perhaps that's the problem. We hold people to higher standards that what we even hold ourselves to. We each have a soapbox in some sort of form and fashion.
What do you do with yours?
I'm trying to make the most of mine.

I must respectfully disagree. You know that I'm doing the show for ATS Radio and you would be amazed at how one single voice can have an impact.
If you want to be heard...be heard.
I have respect for those like Moore that are willing to voice their opinions. Whether we agree with him or not is completely irrelevant.
