Golden Globes Prefer 'Kinsey' to Gibson's 'Christ'

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association today failed to nominate Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" in any categories for its Golden Globes, which often forecast the race for the Academy Awards. Instead the group nominated another biopic for best drama: "Kinsey," which whitewashes sex researcher Alfred Kinsey's interest in pedophilia.

Also nominated for best movie drama: "The Aviator," starring Bush-bashing actor Leonardo DiCaprio; "Closer," starring Bush-bashing actresses Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman; "Finding Neverland," starring Bush-bashing actor Johnny Depp; "Million Dollar Baby," starring Bush-bashing actress Hillary Swank; and "Hotel Rwanda," about the African genocide that Bill Clinton and U.N. boss Kofi Annan did nothing to stop.

Nominated for best movie comedy or musical: "The Incredibles," "Ray," "Sideways," "Phantom of the Opera" and the tedious "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

Among the anti-Bush actors and actresses who received nominations from the small and obscure but powerful HFPA: Roberts, Swank, Depp, DiCaprio, Portman, Annette Bening, Ashley Judd, Renee Zellweger, Laura Linney and Meryl Streep.

Noted conservatives nominated: zero, but libertarian-leaning Clint Eastwood did get recognized for directing "Million Dollar Baby."

Two bits of good news: HFPA finally stopped nominating the increasingly crummy Democrat fantasy series "The West Wing" in the television categories. Nor did a certain slovenly maker of fake "documentaries" get any nominations for his latest piece of propaganda.
