Actually, Bowling for Columbine got an award when it was shown at cannes as well, not the palme d'or, but something of note. That had nothing to do with Bush, and still it got noticed. You might not agree with the message, but I can tell you from all I have learned in the last year at school, Michael Moore sure knows how to make a movie, tell a story, and keep everything solidly on course. Not matter how absurd the situation, it is easy to relate to the situations and easy to follow his logic.
Giving awards for making good films is different from agreeing with the content of the film.
It's just one of those things.
