I would have loved to see those who DO support Mel stand up like the crowd at the Tonight Show did.
You may just get what you ask for. This is a certain gentleman named Eastwood who wanted Mr Gibson to attend. I believe he might just say something kinda unexpected tonight...you never can tell at these things...lol

Mel won't attend because he has proved these people to be irrelevant. He produced this movie without their help and support, why should he help their ratings?
Real men have no reason to attend functions put on by bedwetters, effeminate men and dykes.

I have a feeling that, whatever the reason Gibson didn't accept the offer, it wasn't because he was afraid of being booed. The man who was brave enough to put his money and his fame where his faith was--no, I don't think he's afraid of the Hollyweird crowd.

If Mel isn't going to attend the acadamy awards tonight
then I won't be watching any of it. And that feels good.

I think we would want high ratings to see Hollyweird choose evil over good in plain sight. :^)

The LA TIMES reports that Gibson let the offer expire This simply means that he didn't reply. Kinda like when you let one of those credit card offers expire.
How would they know the reason?

"Perhaps. Maybe he just didn't care to allow himself to be used." That is very perceptive. Gibson understands that Hollywood knows his appearance at the Oscars would boost their ratings. Maybe some other time. Just not this time.

I confess I've never seen it. We have the DVD, though; in honor of Mel's leap of faith with Passion I shall dust it off and watch it.

Yeah, true, it's not worth it for Gibson. But as a conservative, I would've liked to see Hollywood show itself to be what they are.

It would not surprise me an actor, say Sean Penn, comes out in support of Gibson's right to "artistic expression". There are over $100 million reasons for them to make a statement like this, and attempt to endear themselves to what they now know to be a huge market. It would be a transparent, self-serving, hypocritical thing to do, which is why I suspect someone will do it.
As for me, I'll miss it since I'll be at the movies watching Mel's film. I cant boycott the Oscars, because you cant boycott something you never watch anyway.

I kind of agree! In a way, I wish Mel would go and let them show their true colors.
We out here in viewer land aren't as dumb as they assume we are.

Gibson might be guilty of many things, but "afraid" is not one of them. Actually the booing would have given a boost to Gibson and his movie. Already many people, including those who are no big fans of Gibson, are outraged at the false attacks on him.
Roth comes across only as a liar.
