If the Motion Picture Academy's own rules state that the Oscar for Best Documentary can go only to a non-fiction film, then why was Michael Moore voted the award for "Bowling for Columbine," a film proven to contain as much fiction as fact (see here and here and here)? Considering how many lies Moore inserted into the film, why didn't Rob Reiner deserve the Best Documentary Oscar two decades ago for "This Is Spinal Tap"? Indeed, why doesn't Christopher Guest own two Best Documentary Oscars, for "Waiting for Guffman" and "Best in Show" (with a third in the works for "A Mighty Wind"), each of which contains more truth than Moore's "Bowling"?
Of course, Moore didn't use professional actors, but he certainly had his own script.
