"The cultural elites will always have Hollywood"? They can stuff Hollywood where the sun does not shine.

The Passion of The Christ...is being utterly rejected by the Hollywood elites this award season

I for one don't really care whether The Passion gets an Oscar or a Golden Globe or any other award. In this day and age do we really want to have the Hollywood elite, those who prefer naked writhing women on screen, to pass their stupid judgement on our writhing Jesus?

There was a time in history where the subject of the Passion was center to everything everyone did and thought. There was a day when every artist tried to reproduce a feeling of the Passion in the heart of people viewing his work. Take an art history class and you will see that it was not a short amount of time, but decades and centuries.

The Passion has done its job with the people. How many hearts have been changed? God only knows, but I would think very little of Mel Gibson if he spent any time or money chasing after Oscar.

Excellent article, it said everything that needs to be said.

If a film of the quality of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST dealt with any other subject, it would be showered with nominations. The cinematography, score and acting in THE PASSION are not only the best of 2004, but of probably the past 10 years. This is a top drawer production on every level, and the fact that it won't win the awards it deserves is personally maddening to me. But this film will live on in the hearts of many who have seen it long after the putative "Best Picture of 2004" is forgotten.

Excellent article!

Mel doesn't have anything to worry about. He'll be awarded Heaven.

Hollywood can not find one single thing to nominate "Passion" for yet it is the most successful picture of the year. Just makes the Hollywood crowd look more stupid than usual. I've decided that if Mel doesn't really care than I wont either. God bless him.

Catholicism is not and never has been a demomination.

There is no question but this film inspired many, including a couple of criminals to confess.

BTW, in one poll on aol and also in USA today, Pat Tillman was vote the most inspiring person.

Hollyweird has been doing everything it can to drive off a mass audience since the 1960's. They've maxed out their core audience of teens and young adults. The only way they can increase revenues is to make movies that appeal to the Passion audience or raise ticket prices. They'll do the latter.

It's amazing they're taking the, "I'm shocked, shocked to discover there's violence in this movie," line. Their bread and butter is blood and guts "action" movies and gross-out movies directed at male teens. Whatta bunch of high-brows.
