After 42 years of living in Washington D.C., Robert McNamara is ready to go Hollywood. At the Telluride Film Festival, the former secretary of defense and subject of Errol Morris' docu "The Fog of War" was asked if he'd attend the Academy Awards if the film were nominated. "Would I come out for the Oscars?" McNamara echoed. "My God, they couldn't keep me away!"
