Neither is worthy of the best picture. While not exactly objective, at least Fahrenheit 9/11 was an entertaining film. The Passion was mediocre at best. IMHO

Well these comments from ATS are not surprising at all.

The Passion, for the most part will be more enjoyed by people of Christian faith and I don't expect a 12 year old or an atheist to love it as much as a 78 year old Nun.
As for F/911, its propoganda. Pure and simple. Plus its a documentary, a documentary has no acting, script or anything just propoganda or information, or informational propoganda. Moore is making a big mistake by not submitting it for Best Documentary, if he went for Best Doc maybe he'd win that.
There are a lot more deserving films that these for Best Pic. If anything The Passion should get best film in a foreign langauge.

Moore didn't submit it for best doc. because he wanted to show it on election eve, which he did, but poor me I only have cable, and there's an odd rule in the Oscars that a documentary cannot be on tv a ceertain number of days before the election. So Moore looked closer at the rules and found that that does not apply to best picture submissions, so he took a chance and went for it.
As for it being propaganda, I would agree with you, and I would call it a biased documentary, I just hope those that watch it are smart enough to look at the other side and decide for themselves where they stand on the issue.

The Passion was great, not just because of the Movie but how the anti-christian movement organized against it and how the general public responded.
