VIDEO: Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth Wins Best Documentary

Tonight, Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth won the Academy Award for Best Documentary. Gore accepted the award, saying, “My fellow Americans, people all over the world — we need to solve the climate crisis. It’s not a political issue. It’s a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started with the possible exception of the will to act. That’s a renewable resource. Let’s renew it.”

2. C&L video: Al Gore Takes Home the Statue!

Frankly, I'm thrilled but not surprised. An Inconvenient Truth was a teriffic documentary, plus, let's face it, politics plays a role in the selection process. Congrats, Al! Here's a little video compilation of the Vice President's big night.


Here's Melissa Etheridge's incredible peformance of "I Need to Wake Up" from the film that was nominated for Best Song.
UPDATE: Congratulations to Melissa Etheridge for winning Best Song!
