Awww - poor Mikey

Mikey Moore must be feeling pretty down today because of this -- from Yahoo/Variety: bq. Globes say no Moore "The Passion of the Christ" will be considered for Golden Globe awards, but "Fahrenheit 9/11" won't. And more: bq. The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. does not give out awards for docus, so it does not consider the genre in any other race, which KO's "Fahrenheit," released domestically by Lions Gate, IFC Films and Fellowship Adventure Group. bq. With the kudos-season races still wide open, pundits have long speculated on the chances of the pics, which are two of the most debated films of the year. Their high profiles (and B.O. successes) make them hard to ignore, while both films have ardent admirers as well as rabid detractors. And under the heading of Moore bad news bq. At an HFPA meeting Thursday, some members had proposed a special award to Michael Moore -- more of a career award, for boosting the art form of the documentary than a "Fahrenheit" recognition -- but the motion was defeated by the membership.
