Query... I just read a LTTE from our local rag and it states that Al Gore's
Oscar for Inconvenient Truth was "recalled because of critical distortions". I have not heard this and the person who wrote the letter offers no proof (as usual) just was wondering if anyone else had any info. I checked snopes could fine nothing, but still looking. Thanks for any help.

1. It's another denier lie.
Gore didn't even win an Oscar. Davis Guggenheim did.

That's the link to the official Nobel prize website and a list of who own the peace prize over the years. Look at 2007.


Edit:

After posting, I see I wrote about the Nobel when you asked about the Oscar.
Well, the Oscar site still lists An Inconvenient Truth as the winner. here's the link: http://awardsdatabase.oscars.org/ampas_awards/DisplayMain.jsp;jsessionid=E4FC0737FDD92C219B8A1D7551D2E363?curTime=1260420694912

3. Not true...and I would write to the paper and say that printing letters containing outright
lies is not opion...shame on the paper.

Al didn't get the Oscar, the producer of the movie did.
