NO MEL GIBSON AT OSCARS
Sun Feb 29 2004 13:01:38 ET
A major no-show at tonight's Academy Awards in Hollywood will be Mel Gibson.
The Executive Producer of the program, Joe Roth asked the filmmaker of PASSION OF THE CHRIST to present an award, knowing it would create unforgettable sparks.
The LA TIMES reports that Gibson let the offer expire because, Roth says, he was afraid of being booed.
His representatives said Gibson was too busy to attend because it was the movie's opening weekend.

Yikes! I wasn't aware of that. Yeah, me neither, I found the link on his website. I went there based on what I had read on this thread about him. He doesn't say anything about his political leanings, other than that link.

It is so beautifully obvious. Gibson has shunned Hollywood, not the reverse. I sense that Gibson did not want the temple moneychangers to touch his Christ. To him, it would have been blasphemy.
