LOS ANGELES — “Sicko” director Michael Moore jokes that Fidel Castro would be a “ratings grabber” if he appeared at Sunday night’s Academy Awards show.
Moore’s Oscar-nominated documentary on the health care industry concludes with a trip to Cuba. Castro, who is 81 and in poor health, announced his retirement as president of Cuba this week.
“I got some great news today because I was trying to figure out how I was going to get Castro into the Oscars, and for me he resigns today so he can come to L.A. and go as my guest and perhaps give the acceptance speech,” Moore said Tuesday night.
