The Oscar nominations are out and predictably "The Passion of the Christ," was not nominated for the Best movie. I figured they would give it a few nods in technical categories in which they did, three to be exact(best make up. I guess the flesh tearing and blood dripping did look real) but of course that wont be enough for the zealots. They need fodder for their cause. I can tell you that Jennifer Giroux's(video of her) crowd probably prayed awfully hard that "The Passion" didnt get nominated no matter what they say so that they can have a pulpit to whine and complain about Hollywoods Christian bias all the way up to Oscar night.
