Not too bad at all. This will break box office records for docu’s like BFC and Roger and Me before it thanks to all the publicity its supporters and detractors are giving it.

**Moderator’s Note:** Don’t cross-post the same thread in two different forums.

Since the OP seems perfectly happy about _Fahrenheit 9/11_ winning, the original placement in Cafe Society was the correct one. If those posters who are unhappy about the award want to start a Pit thread, they should be the ones to do so.
