I noticed that.
Bit odd considering it was so amazingly succesful and controversial.

Why would it be listed among "best foreign" films?

It was not unexpected. Hollyweird is the capital of the Left Coast.

They tried to claim that The Passion was not technically a foreign film becuase it was not in the language of a foreign country (such as China or Spain). Of course if someone did a sob piece about Amazon natives being displaced and abused by evil American capitalists bent on chopping down the rain forest for profit and had the dialogue in some obscure native language, the intellegentsia of Mordor Hollywood would be all over like stink on auk. If they wish to be technical, Latin is tyhe official language of a foreign country called Vatican City.

Shouldnt really be surprised...

in fact, not getting nominated just shows how badly Hollyweird has been stung by Mel this time around....

I would be happy that it didnt get nominated.

It's just one way that the hollywood blue state elitist' feel they can get back at the red state evagelicals for winning the election. Personally, unless it's another movie on par with "The Passion", I'll not support hollyweird by going to anymore movies.

Would Mel Gibson rather have a chunk of metal on his shelf or mega-millions in the bank?

Hmmmmmmmm...tough question......give me a minute......

It's Hollywood's opinion.

Mel Gibson doesn't belong in that group of secular humanist hedonists.

He knows The Passion was the best of the best and was the most inspirational motion picture made.

If more Catholics saw that film the Church wouldn't be in the satan inspired state it's in today and confessional doors would be worn off their hinges.

I wouldn't think Gibson would want "The Passion" associated in any way
with the vermin of Hollywood.

I, too, am not surprised. But I'm going to pick on this author for trotting out one of my biggest pet peeves. Box office sales are no way to judge a movie. A movie isn't 'great' because of how much money it makes or how many people have seen it. There have been big-grossing films that are pure trash. Make the argument based on artistic merit. "The Passion" certainly has it in spades.

What's a "Golden Globe?"

Seems for years Golden Globes have lacked much credibility, mainly an in-group admiring each other.
