Michael Moore's "Bowling For Columbine" was not a documentary by any standard known to man despite the Academy Award. It was in the same vein as Moore's earlier work Roger and Me. Moore himself conceded this when he was questioned about the validity of its content. Moore accused the questioner of holding him to a different standard than he would another film maker, and was quoted as saying "because you see this primarily as a documentary...I think of it as a movie, an entertaining movie...An entertaining move like Sophie's Choice"
