and TV shows CSI, Jo
The season of award shows kicked off Sunday night with Michael Moore's controversial film Fahrenheit 9/11 winning the People's Choice Award for favourite movie. "We live in a great country and we all love our country very much and I am so amazed that you did this - the people of America; that you voted for this film," said a laughing Moore as the audience cheered wildly. "I'm honoured and gratified." He dedicated the award to those who are fighting in Iraq.

The film Shrek 2 and television shows CSI:Crime Scene Investigation and Joey won multiple honours at the awards.

Mike Myers accepted the prize as Shrek 2 was voted favourite movie comedy and favourite animated movie. "I'm very, very honoured to be part of something where people care so much that it be good," he said.

1. The people chose Bush my ass.
Look how wildly popular this film was. We were handing out Move-on bumper stickers at the theatres and people were slapping them on their car in the parking lot! People were amazed, including myself who never knew what a show was put on for the 2001 inauguration.

2. I know, we had to stand
in line for an hour. The theatre was packed and the line for the movie was wrapped around the whole theatre.
