But,says one Academy member, "If Kerry loses, it gets nominated as a big 'f--- you' to Bush." Hollywood letting their lack of morals hang out as usual.

Somehow I doubt that Gibson will be losing any sleep over it.
No kidding. The Oscars snubbing Mel Gibson would be a pretty good vindication of The Passion and of Mel Gibson. If I was Mel Gibson, I'd rather not have "Oscar Taint" on my movie.

I wish someone would get up on stage and just ask them all, on live television: "How many homeless, sick kids, and elderly you could make better lives for with what you are spending on gowns, tuxedos, jewelry, parties, limos, etc. for just one night?"

"A lot of older Academy voters, who are largely Jewish, refuse to even see this movie," says one Oscar-campaign vet. "There's a level of animosity toward this film that is very real. When I talk to the members, I hear it over and over and over again." Not surprising in the least.
Petty grievances. Isn't that what Jesus scorned?
Oh I forgot. They didn't exactly care for Him and His Teachings.

You might try showing it and Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph Of The Will in the same showing. Just a thought.

I would show it before the elections. If Michael Moore can show his before, then you can certainly give another view before the elections. You're students should see the opposing view.

I'm sure he'll cry himself to sleep on the $609,493,825 pile of cash he made off of it too. I'd like to be the one who'd hand him the kleenex made out of a $1,000 bill ;)

Haven't you heard? Hollywood actors/scriptwriters are suffering from the growing popularity of reality TV. Oscars will soon suffer from the growing awareness of reality.
Our entertainers' politics are not entertaining -- time to vote with your remote.

Every time they show the commercials for "The Day After Tomorrow," I get a warm feeling inside, seeing that tornado hit the Hollywood letters on the hillside.

"so much for any remaining idea that they're interested in the art or the talent."
OR......... FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION which "art"(har har) is suppose to be about. They bellow about it ALL THE TIME when it's THEIR artistic expre$$ion$ being marketed. Hypocrite$, we see who you are.

That one line, spoken by an Academy member, is all we need to know about the bias of the Academy.

"There's a level of animosity toward this film that is very real. When I talk to the members, I hear it over and over and over again."
Another example of the new blacklist. It's just an award so I can't get too worked up about it, but one can only imagine what goes on behind the scenes.
The new blacklist is the same old story - only the players have changed.

Well, Mel Gibson is probably sobbing on his way to the bank.
The best course of action for Hollywood lefty cooks would be to punish Gibson's work by inclusion - i.e. nominate [modestly, in only a few categories], and then award it at most one Oscar, among the crowd of other people and mounds of their work, so as if to say: "good, but really nothing extraordinary". Ostentatious EXCLUSION of his work only adds publicity and attracts attention to it. But I would not hold my breath waiting for them to figure it out.
