- …the film's director, David Guggenheim, won the nod, as did singer Melissa Etheridge for the song "I Need to Wake Up"…
- "The film ... has brought awareness of the climate crisis to people in the United States and all over the world," Gore said in an e-mail statement. "I am so grateful to the entire team and pleased that the Academy has recognized their work. This film proves that movies really can make a difference."
- Aides say the former vice president plans to walk the red carpet with Hollywood's beautiful people at the Academy Awards ceremony…
- "An Inconvenient Truth" has been a critical and box office success, bringing in more than $24 million to make it the third highest- grossing documentary in history. A companion book has been on national best-seller lists for months…
- Gore…said he's not planning to run for president again but also has not ruled it out.
