Big Al's Oscar Adventure!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070123/ap_en_mo/gore_oscar_nomination_3

NEW YORK - Who says politics is show business for ugly people? "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's film on the perils of global warming, scored two Oscar nominations Tuesday — for best documentary feature and best original song. While he is not technically a nominee — the film's director, Davis Guggenheim, won the nod, as did singer Melissa Etheridge for the song "I Need to Wake Up" — Gore said he was "thrilled" that his movie was honored.


"The film ... has brought awareness of the climate crisis to people in the United States and all over the world," Gore said in an e-mail statement. "I am so grateful to the entire team and pleased that the Academy has recognized their work. This film proves that movies really can make a difference."

Aides say the former vice president plans to walk the red carpet with Hollywood's beautiful people at the Academy Awards ceremony next month.

1. He already has his acceptance speech...
"Impeach"

Simple, direct, to the point.

3. If I were Al, my acceptance speech would begin:
"I'd better hurry up and accept this award before the Supreme Court gives it to George W. Bush".

:rofl:
