2004: The Year of 'The Passion'
By FRANK RICH
WILL it be the Jews' fault if "The Passion of the Christ," ignored by the Golden Globes this week, comes up empty in the Oscar nominations next month? Why, of course.
"Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular," William Donohue, president of the Catholic League, explained in a colloquy on the subject recently convened by Pat Buchanan on MSNBC. "It's not a secret, O.K.?" Mr. Donohue continued. "And I'm not afraid to say it. That's why they hate this movie. It's about Jesus Christ, and it's about truth." After the show's token (and conservative) Jewish panelist, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, pointed out that "Michael Moore is certainly not a Jew" and that Scorsese, Coppola and Lucas are not "Jewish names," Mr. Donohue responded: "I like Harvey Weinstein. How's that? Harvey Weinstein is my friend."

Donohue? He doesn't know **** about **** and he's crazier than ****house rat.
Methinks he's greatly exaggerating what it's like in Hollywood, but that's just me. I don't think The Passion OR F9/11 will be Oscar contenders. I think Hollywood will shy away from both.
I was very pleased that The Passion was left out of the Golden Globes, too.
