Shrek 2 and Spiderman 2 both made more then TPOTC. Neither one of them was nominated either. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...It didn't get enough votes.
Previous poor attempts by Hollywood - DeMille and that pathetic list self-described 'directors' who do not deserve to walk behind Mel Gibson - have an Oscar for their pretensions celluloid creations.
The anti-Christian Western religion hating Asylum of Motion Pictures refused to even place "The Passion of The Christ" in a foreign language category.
On behalf of every man woman and child who call themselves American Citizens ( If Richard "I am the world" Greer can do it, so can I. ) I rise to congratulate Mel Gibson for his moral fortitude in single handedly unveiling of the self-indulgent, bigoted, and corrupted mind-set that is 'Hollywood'.
This feat in itself is deserving of the highest honor a civilian can receive from the United States government - the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
President Bush is duty bound to God and country to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mel Gibson for exposing the true colors of the Hollywood film industry - commie pink.
