>Dear Friends,
>
>Last night, at the People's Choice Awards, "Fahrenheit 9/11" was 
>named the Best Movie of the Year. It was a stunning moment for us. 
>And, somewhere inside the Bush White House, someone there must have 
>been stunned, too.
>
>21 million people voted in the People's Choice Awards. They chose 
>our film over "Shrek 2," "Spiderman 2" and "The Incredibles." If we 
>can beat that many superheroes, surely we can survive the next four 
>years.
>
>I can think of no greater honor for us this year than the award 
>bestowed upon us last night by the American people. On live 
>television, with no threat of my remarks being censored or cut 
>short, I thanked all of you and the rest of our fellow Americans and 
>dedicated the prize to the parents of our servicemen and women in 
>Iraq, the Lila Lipscombs of America who suffer so profoundly by the 
>reckless actions of the Bush administration.
>
>(If you'd like to see what I said -- this time, no riot! -- you can 
><http://michaelmoore.com/_media/pcaawardslong.mov>click here. I even 
>dressed up!)
>
>It was an historic moment as no documentary had ever won the 
>People's Choice Award for Best Picture. And I thank each and every 
>one of you who voted and made that happen.
>
>I took Congresswoman Maxine Waters and her husband as my guests last 
>night. My family was there, too, as was some of our crew. We had a 
>great time and I even got to meet Mel Gibson for the first time (he 
>won a secondary prize for best film drama). More on that later!
>
>Thanks again, and now let's get on with the serious work at hand -- 
>winning more awards! Hahahaha. Just kidding. We have an inauguration 
>to <http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/index.php?id=809>attend, don't 
>we?
>
>Yours,
>
>Michael Moore
