And the Oscar For Best Horror Film Goes to…Gasland!
By Donal on Tue, 02/22/2011 - 3:44pm |Maybe Gasland, Josh Fox’s film about fracking, should have been classified as a horror movie, because it appears to have the oil and gas industry running scared. Their lobby group, Energy in Depth, just sent a letter to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences claiming that Gasland should be ineligible for an Oscar because of its “many errors, inconsistencies and outright falsehoods,” and calling it “an expression of stylized fiction.”
[I caught the last 45 minutes on my stepmom's HBO, and it looked very convincing. She and my wife were appalled.]
