Correction

I hate to give lots of attention to him, but a slight correction is in order:

The reason Michael Moore is ineligible for Best Documentary consideration is part III.2.B.(1) of the Rule 12 of the Rules of the 77th Annual Academy Awards, which reads:

No television or internet transmission shall occur at any time prior to, or within the nine months following, the first day of the qualifying exhibition, and not before completing the minimum four-city two-day theatrical runs. Any documentary which is transmitted anywhere in the world in any version as a television or internet program within this period will automatically be disqualified from award eligibility.

A prior post stated that its release on DVD was the cause of its ineligibility. My assertion that the good taste of the Academy is not at issue still stands.
