Respect for Hollywood!
No amount of slander or libel or backroom influences had any effect on this decision. If I'd never been in Scio, I would have voted the same. The film didn't have any fancy visuals, though the way all the clips were integrated was pure art. The sound dubs and overdubs were cool, too, and assisted the film to say so much in such little time. Those deserved nominations, but I can see how some of the other films would win in those categories.
Oh, btw, this means my 2015 prediction came true!
And now that "Going Clear" has won three Emmys, the next prediction can happen: it gets translated into hundreds of languages and distributed around the world. All these movie theatres and industries buy the films that win Emmys, and general public rent them quickly. Let's get it translated and distributed now! Alex Gibney, what are you waiting for?
We definitely need more films. The Scn team and FreeDumb will be out in force to help with advertising, conflict and to prove our points. That is so cool, they really made this film a household word and spent millions to get it known.
