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?
And in spite of tremendous publicity and controversy, the movie was a dismal failure at the box office and was not critically acclaimed by the reviewers. Had it been nominated that would have been incontrivertible evidence of Hollywood's hatred of religion in general and Christianity in particular.
Except 'The Last Temptation' was a steaming pile of dung.
"The Last Temptation of Christ" was not a blockbuster, either. To have recognized schlock like "The Ten Commandments" but now to ignore Gibson's film is telling.
"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."
Perhaps the lack of a nomination for the "Last temptation" had more to do with it being a piece of cinematic DRECK.
Now quit slurring Mel and believers or kindly leave this forum you Troll.

What kind of scum are you to defend Hollywood?
Butlook at it this year. Every one of the winners of the various awards ia an attack on conservatives and/American values.
