Petition to have Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero present at the Academy Awards

The Issue

Fifteen years ago the world was changed when a man named Tommy Wiseau released his masterpiece called The Room. He paid out of his own pocket for the movie to remain in theaters an extra few weeks just to be eligible for the Academy Awards; a story now featured in the Oscar worthy  "The Disaster Artist" directed by James Franco. It seems the point of destiny to allow Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau to walk down that red carpet and stand on that stage of Hollywood elites. We want the Academy to make the world a better place. Please consider our petition to allow Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero to present at the Academy Awards ceremony.
