Michael Moore plans to enter Fahrenheit 9/11 as best picture, rather than best documentary, at the Academy Awards. The film, which slams President George W Bush's war on terror, has become the highest grossing documentary.

But Moore said he hoped to have the film aired on television before November's presidential election to reach "as many Americans as possible".

According to Academy rules, this would invalidate its entry in the documentary category, but not for best film.


Moore said, for him, the "real Oscar" would be President Bush's defeat and added he "had not given up trying" to get the film broadcast on television before the election.
