And neither is its being ignored by awards political. 'The Last Temptation of Christ' wasn't nominated for a Best Picture Oscar either and no one claimed that was a sign of Hollywood's inherent conservatism.

Please tell me that you are not comparing the Passion to a film that raked in an astonishing 8.3 million dollars????? 1988's "Action Jackson" wasn't nominated either what does that tell you?

Commercial success is not the primary criteria for merit awards. If that's your criteria then the two best films of last year were 'Shrek 2' and 'Spiderman 2', both of which made more money then The Passion.
