The Liar, Liar Oscars - Ben and Michelle Zap the Bad Guys

Ben Affleck's Argo, another Hurt Locker/Zero Dark Thirty-style mythology of noble, brave Americans fighting the good fight against 'bad guys' wins Best Film. Michelle Obama announces the result by link from the White House (not kidding). What if, conversely, Hollywood was obliged to tell the truth irrespective of their irresistible urge to continue to cascade agitprop on behalf of the US  establishment? What type of films might come out? Films that actually, you know, told the truth. Maybe a film about THIS or THIS or THIS or THIS?
