FLINT, MI -- Here's a surreal thought.

Michael Moore

It's been 10 years since Flint native Michael Moore's infamous Oscars acceptance speech. The one where he slammed President George W. Bush and was booed.

Moore took home his only Academy Award for his 2002 documentary "Bowling for Columbine." His 2007 film, "Sicko," was also nominated.

Here's an excerpt from his 2003 acceptance speech:

Then came the boos. And then came the orchestra.

And here it is on video.

Moore reminisced

during last night's Academy Awards telecast. He mostly retweeted followers who voiced support for him.

From Twitter's @matthieulegault: "Watching the speech again 10yrs later, w/ everything that we know now- wow. You didn't deserve the backlash. Respect!"

And from @lisadanders8: "I applauded your speech at work the next day. I was then perceived as anti-American. Never regretted my view.

The Guardian revisted Moore's acceptance speech

, titled "Where Michael Moore dared ..."

The question is, is history on Moore's side now? Looking back, does it seem strange for him to be booed, or was he in the wrong? And would he be booed for expressing similar feelings today? What do you think?
