You seem knowledgable, so I'll ask:

1. Will The Passion get nominated for Best Foreign Language Film?
2. Will it win?

I'm not the person you asked but I believe in the Foriegn Language film category the country has to submit the film for it to be considered. They instituted that rule during the Cold War to avoid socio-political flaps like the Boris Pasternak Nobel prize thing. Since The Passion is an American production I don't believe it will be submitted for Foriegn Language Film Oscar.
