As if Mel and W are worried!

[escapefromboston]

Mel must be very upset.
If he made Jesus gay Mel would be drowning in oscar nominations.

(who watches the oscars anyway????)

[writer33]

All this Oscar analysis is painful. I stopped watching the LOscars years ago. That's Lefty Oscars.

[bubman]

Good and I will snub the Oscars and rent the Passion as well as WMD on Oscar night!

[atari]

fahrenheit winning and G.W. losing would be nightmare..

not too mention a whole litany of other reasons

[cripplecreek]

Somehow I doubt that Gibson will be losing any sleep over it.

[Petronski]

Dracula fears the light. Satan fears God. Film at eleven.

[Family Guy]

I would rather see Passion overlooked for the nomination than see Fahrenheit 911 receive a nomination.

[Nachum]

a tempest in a tea pot.

[atomicpossum]

Either way, there's plenty of ammunition to damage Hollywood.

[savedbygrace]

Well, so much for any remaining idea that they're interested in the art or the talent.

[thegreatbeast]

Fortunately, Gibson has had all that and he knows what bridges have been burned. I've never taken any of these award shows seriously because there is no way you can without closing your eyes and mind to what is going on.

[Jorge]

I'm sure the Oscars are going to be really important on Judgment Day.

[Salamander]

"The whole Sodom and Gomorrah thing about Hollywood will come up again."

Oh?
And when, exactly, did it ever go away?

[skikvt]

I'm sure he'll cry himself to sleep on the $609,493,825 pile of cash he made off of it too.

[sandalwood]

"It's a little weird to trash the establishment, and then to come knocking at the establishment's door during awards season."

That's not Mel knocking, buddy, that's you farting while your head's up your keister

[Halls]

Who really cares. Mel's rewards will be in Heaven, and nothing here on earth will be anything close to what God has in store for Mel.

[Rocky]

Yep, I would say this sums up Hollywood pretty well.

[Jorge]

"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."

Pathetic.

[Victoria Delsoul]

and all say that a "Passion" best-picture nod is almost unthinkable.

What did I tell you?

[MPJackal]

"But,says one Academy member, "If Kerry loses, it (F 9-11) gets nominated as a big 'f--- you' to Bush."

This from the high and mighty in Hollywood. Truly a class act.
