choices : news related : WHY WAS CHRIST'S PASSION SHUT OUT OF THE MAJOR AWARD CATEGORIES?

[+] ballot by Barbara_Baby_Cakes
created Wed Jan 26, 05

I was reported that, Conservative filmmaker Mel Gibson, who performed a miracle by turning an Aramaic speaking Jesus into a worldwide box office star with "The Passion of the Christ," was shut out of the major award categories. The Biblical saga generated zero buzz among Oscar prognosticators, and Gibson declined to campaign for the film he directed and funded with his own money after all the studios passed. It did, however, land three minor Oscar nominations for makeup, cinematography and score. However, earlier this month, "Passion" won a lowly People's Choice Award for best film drama to go with the two Oscars Gibson won in 1996 for producing and directing "Braveheart." There are reports that members of hollywood took offense to the perception that, Mel Gibson's movie evoked anti semitic overtunes causing the movie to be shut out of the major award categories. What are your views regarding the shut out and the reported perceptions by members of hollywood?

The movie should not have been shut out.

If true, some members of hollywood should be ashamed, it was an excellent movie.

The movie was not anti semitic.

The movie doesn't deserve to be nominated, it was anti semitic.

The movie was an over-rated piece of shit

Wasn't it subtitled? Just wondering. Maybe some of the judges can't read.

It wasn't a very good movie. It was basically a Jewish ROCKY VI. Yeshua (Rocky)gets the crap beat out of him for 90 minutes and somehow manages to combeback (in this case ressurect)in the last round.
