ANDREW SULLIVAN CORRECTION WATCH: It has now been six days since Mr. Sullivan posted, erroneously:
MOORE WILL GET THE OSCAR: Of course he will. These people are in the movie business. They made "A Beautiful Mind" and "Good Will Hunting" the best movies of the year. You think a made-up documentary will stop them?

Cute, except for two things, both of which I pointed out to him in an email six days ago:

1. Good Will Hunting did not win the Oscar for Best Picture. A little movie named Titanic did.

2. As I noted here last week, Bowling for Columbine can't win the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature because it has nothing to do with the Holocaust. Read here for more. Of course, this alleged Moore-loving Academy didn't even nominate Roger and Me, but why let a little historical evidence get in your way?

Will Sullivan, so diligent about calling the NYT to the carpet for every perceived error, correct his own obvious blunder?
