I don't get it

President Bush (news - web sites) won the Golden Raspberry Award on Saturday for worst actor of the year for his appearance in Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11."
I don't get it. How can someone in a documentary -- usually not actors -- get nominated and win an acting award (a razzie in this case)? I guess you could argue that politicians are actors. But the President wasn't trying to follow the script that Moore had written for him (which is why Moore had to doctor images and queue up sound bites in just the right way). Maybe I should just be happy that one of the best fictitious (as in fake, made up, 100% not real) movies of the year won a razzie, an award that only the worst movies get.
