And the winner isn’t…
: It’s a rare day when you can call Hollywood courageous but I give the Academy props for ignoring Fahrenheit 911 and all but ignoring The Passion of the Christ in today’s Oscar nominations. I know we’ll hear arguments that the Oscars are “wrong” because these movies both made a lot of money. Well, first off, the Oscars are always wrong; they’re just hooey and hype. Second, this is supposed to be (even though, of course, it often isn’t) a reflection not of the box office but of quality. And both movies sucked.
And I think that a best makeup nomination for Passion is nothing but an inside joke.
