All eyes on Al Gore at the Oscars
Who knew Al Gore’s documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" being nominated for an Oscar would lead to an an evening of "guess if he’s a presidential candidate"?
In an Oscars devoid of suspense, Al Gore provided the buzz.
In speech after speech he was showered with praise. Leonardo DiCaprio asked the question most directly in a comedy bit as he and the former VP stood on stage together.
"Wouldn’t you like to announce something?" Leo demanded forcefully.
A reporter for US Weekly was even bugging him about it backstage! "Gore makes it plain: He has no plans to seek office again. Why would he? He’s having too good a time as a comic. He joked to me, ‘I was president of the Senate, so that’s okay,’"
Though he still remains out of the race, Gore Fever is reaching Global Warming temperatures. His movie not only won Best Documentary but even snagged Best Song out of the clutches of more obvious choice "Dreamgirls"! Sorry Beyoncé!
