Al Gore, Academy Award Winner?

   I suspect Al Gore will win the Academy Award tonight for Best
   Documentary. Having seen his movie, [1]An Inconvenient Truth, I
   suspect it will be wildly popular with the Hollywood crowd. And, of
   course, with anyone who voted for Gore in 2000 and feels they somehow
   got cheated.

   I didn't think much of the film. I haven't decided whether I want to
   go into detail why I felt at turns insulted and amused by it. But it
   is well-made, and should help him in his goal to build support for the
   2008 Democratic nomination. I think he's especially hoping for a
   "draft Gore" movement--a fictional one if not a real one. Especially
   if we have a year of significant natural environmental disasters that
   he can take credit for predicting.

   Winning the Academy Award would surely help him in his goals. And I
   think most of Hollywood will want to help by giving him one.
