Euthanasia, adultery, but no Salvation

Sideways got one for drunken adultery and lying. Million Dollar Baby got one for euthanasia. But the most successful, most powerful, most important, most beautiful movie of the year got nothing. The Passion of the Christ ... skunked by the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences. That must be it; all science, no soul.

The solid gold consolation prize is, of course, Michael Moore's equally obvious but much more deserved skunking.
