"No wonder they prefer they prefer the cowardly route of remaining nameless."

They probably are members the "Academy".
I wonder what treatement the motion picture academy [Oscars] and the foreign press [Golden Globes] will give this movie at nomination and awards time?

"The Passion of the Christ": Best Picture?
"The Passion of the Christ": Best screenplay?
James Caviezel: Jesus: Best actor?
Maia Morgenstern: Mary: Best actress?
Monica Bellucci: Mary Magdalene: Best supporting actress?
Hristo Jikov: John: Best supporting actor?
Francesco De Vito: Peter: Best supporting actor?

I wonder how they can sweep this movie under the rug? If it does not get any nominations, then as the song goes: "I see your true colors shining through..."

imagine Mel winning an Oscar and then sharing the gospel during the Oscars!

It would be easy for the academy or foreign press to ignore The Passion for nominations for the big awards. Certainly the acting awards and the best picture award. Adapted screenplay would be harder. But would it be eligible for foreign language film?

The film will not win any awards (maybe a technical one) but we'll see how far the blacklisting goes to see if it gets nominated for one.
