first paragrahs:

CANNES, France (AP) -- U.S. filmmaker Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," a scathing indictment of White House actions after the September 11 attacks, won the top prize Saturday at the Cannes Film Festival.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" was the first documentary to win Cannes' prestigious Palme d'Or since Jacques Cousteau's "The Silent World" in 1956.

"What have you done? I'm completely overwhelmed by this. Merci," Moore said after getting a standing ovation from the Cannes crowd.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" took the prestigious Palme d'Or amid sharply divided Cannes moviegoers, who found a solid crop of good movies among the 19 entries in the festival's main competition but no great ones that rose to frontrunner status.

That says so much about this decision.

I'm so gonna see that, but it was so nicer in the days where you didn't have to go home and factcheck his movies.

Palme D'Or? Sounds French... Must be some sort of GAY award.

Perfectly said.

His older work still mostly stands up, but the guy is a mess now. People should head to SpinSanity.com (http://www.spinsanity.com) and do a search fpr his name to just see how far he's fallen with his last few books and films.

There really isn't anything more that needs to be said.
