HOLLYWOOD PASSION - Or lack of integrity?

With the snub of Mel Gibson's "The Passion," can anyone say they can not see the patent and blatant slap in the face of the American movie going public?

I know that many American's are as dumb and ignorant as the proverbial field-stump, but do we not now see that the Academy Awards are an inside job ... not the result of professionalism?

I believe it was Michael Medved who said the reason it won't get any votes is because "none of the Academy members have seen it, even though Gibson sent them all a DVD." Go figure!
