Neil Armstrong and co are recognised by Hollywood not for being the first humans on the moon, but for their "contributions to the television industry". [more in comments] by ZER0SE7ENONETH

The original TV footage of the moon landing has a bunch of animations of the lunar craft landing... because obviously there was no TV crew who went to the moon first - then they'd be the first ones.

(At 8:17 there is even the text displayed message "CBS News Simulation")

Some people use this as 'evidence' that they didn't go.
