The producer of "Fahrenheit 9/11" was Harvey Weinstein, who had a very good relationship with Quentin, leading people to accuse Quentin of personal bias.
In addition, this documentary was heavily political, not in line with artistic values.
After the award ceremony, "Fahrenheit 9/11" and Quentin also faced a lot of controversy.
Furthermore, at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, 14-year-old Japanese actor Yuya Yagira defeated actors including Choi Min-sik, Daniel Brühl, and others, becoming the youngest ever Cannes Film Emperor in the history of the festival. Afterwards, Choi Min-sik publicly scoffed, 'What kind of acting can a 14-year-old have?'
Then, in 2006, director Wong Jiawai, as the jury president, saw an unprecedented five male actors jointly receiving the award for Cannes Film Emperor and six female actors jointly named Cannes Film Empress, which also sparked much controversy afterward.
