I really wonder how the elitists in Hollywood are going to 'handle' "Passion." Artistically, Mel Gibson has created a masterful work. Will it receive its due at nomination time? I doubt it.
It is a materful work for those who understand or have somebody helping them to understand, but reading non-believers comments they have no concept as to what they are watching and see it nothing more than a painful movie. "Passion" will win no awards from Hollywood.
The American people will take care of that. I'm sure "Passion' will win best picture at the People's Choice Awards. They have given Mel a couple of Best Actor awards when the Oscars didn't even nominate him. I have never voted for the People's Choice Awards before, I just didn't care about it. I will vote this year, for sure!
