The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has embraced Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ", while banning "Fahrenheit 9/11" from consideration for a Golden Globe award. (Isn't karma sweet?) Michael Moore's drek is considered by the Association to be a documentary, a category the Golden Globes does not have.

But Gibson's "Passion" does qualify for the awards' foreign language section as it was filmed in the ancient languages of Aramaic and Latin, (HFPA President Lorenzo) Soria said.

"Yes, we know Aramaic is not a spoken language and, yes, we know the film doesn't have a country of origin, but our bylaws state that when a film is in a language that is preponderantly non-English, it's a foreign-language film," he said.

Now if the Oscars would only consider it. But I really will be surprised if they do, either in the foreign film category or best film category. They are just too anti-Christ to allow it.
