"American Factory," the first title from Barack and Michelle Obama's production company, Higher Ground, won the Academy Award for best documentary feature Sunday — solidifying the Obamas’ status as budding media moguls.
The film, which premiered on Netflix in August, tells the story of a Chinese billionaire who opens a glass factory in a former General Motors plant in Dayton, Ohio, and examines the relationship between workers and employers in the 21st century globalized economy. “Congrats to Julia and Steven, the filmmakers behind ‘American Factory,’ for telling such a complex, moving story about the very human consequences of wrenching economic change,” the former president tweeted Sunday. “Glad to see two talented and downright good people take home the Oscar for Higher Ground’s first release.”, and since leaving the White House, he and his wife have become even more prominent in the publishing and entertainment worlds.

NBCBLK Congrats Mr President and First Lady!!!!
NBCBLK Keep Americans factory in America not China.
NBCBLK Just another example of the Liberal establishment bestowing undeserved praise on the worst President in modern history. Just like when he was awarded a Nobel Peace prize after only a few months in office. Then he went on to found ISIS, cause a genocide in Syria and destroy Lybia.
NBCBLK At some point do these people feel at all self conscious over the absurd idol worshipping they receive?
NBCBLK Was there any chance that the judges looked at anyone else?
NBCBLK “How does a nearly two-hour film telling the story of these workers fail even to mention the direct role the co-owner of the film’s production company played in creating their hardships? Did the filmmakers think no one would remember?” Oscars

NBCBLK Don’t tell Trump. Mr Pettiness-and-insecure-in-chief will take the Oscar away by Executive Order.
NBCBLK Maybe thats one of the reasons why the 92nd Academy Awards drew an average of 23.6 million viewers for ABC on Sunday — the lowest ratings in the show's history.
