[My Favorite Headache]

It's a gamble on Moore's part. By positioning himself for a Best Picture nod he took himself out of running for Best Documentary by doing so. By pushing for a Best Picture nod...he will possibly piss off actors and producers who could have gotten a chance for their own films to be in that spot.

Moore is taking a big gamble by doing this..of course The Passion of The Christ was and is easily the best film of the last year if not decade.

It was broadcast on Cuban TV so it is ineligible for an Oscar is what I heard. But I hope they nominate it so we can show them what we think of that. Do they really want to spit at over half of America

The Passion of The Christ could, quite possibly, be the best movie of all time. And this comes not just from a biased/Christian point of view. The entire production from acting to cinematography, to the artistic eye, to just about any criteria usually used for inclusion in the Academy awards nominations.

The little I have read about Hollywood and the upcoming Academy Awards, I surmised that this years big winner has already been chosen. It will be "Ray", the story of Ray Charles. I have seen clips at the theater and, although I am no fan whatsoever of Jamie Fox, he and the film look brilliant.

Now, the question for the liberal elite Hollywood set will be do you reward a well deserved movie about a black man with a black cast or do you vote for Moore to make a political statement?

Then there is the "Passion" factor. Do you vote for a movie you detest because you noticed the election results and figure you need to kiss up to the audience?

I might actually watch this years award show. Sounds like Hollywood is between a rock and a hard place.
