While Michael Moore lobbies the Academy for his Oscar in Variety and the like, you can vote for the non-Oscar-campaigning Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ for a People's Choice award here. Voting is winding down this weekend, fyi.
Gibson partner Bruce Davey said of Oscar lobbying: "This film should be judged on its artistic merit, not on who spends more money for advertising. That's really what the academy was meant to be and to celebrate." Meanwhile, you may not be an academy member, but you can have your say here if you think The Passion is worth commendation as a movie. (Lopez, Kathryn Jean NROnline Corner)

Regardless of the contenders, I've always thought it unseemly for people to campaign for an award.
