Oscar Nominee Saved From Deportation By Michael Moore
When Michael Moore is sitting at home in his sweats and eating bacon while wondering what organization he can f**k with next, it turns out he gets texts from Oscar nominated directors who are being barred from entering the US to attend the Academy Awards because US Customs officials had no idea that a Palestinian could be nominated for an Oscar. Emad Burant is the director of 5 Broken Cameras. He was trying to enter the country with his family at LAX last night and officials were not going to let him in because his invitation from the Academy Awards was not proof that he was invited. Also, the fact that his name is listed in the nominees was not good enough either. Step in Michael Moore who called Academy officials who called lawyers who got the family released and are allowed to stay in the US for one week. No more.
