'Passion' of the 'Fahrenheit'?
Could it be?
In some people's minds, Michael Moore and Mel Gibson have become one. Call it a marriage made in heaven and hell. OK, just hell.
I am told that some representative of the Golden Globes has asked Moore and Gibson to present an award together at this year's ceremonies. The offer is out there on the table, but there's no word on whether it will happen.
Imagine the left-wing director of "Fahrenheit 9/11" and the right-wing director of "The Passion of the Christ" coming out onto the stage at the Beverly Hilton, arms linked, ready to tell jokes. It's so crazy it's genius.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is not alone in trying to arrange this kind of rare duet.
Yesterday, the National Board of Fans, er, Review, gave the two movies one of their made-up awards to see if the filmmakers would come, and if their respective film companies would buy them $4,500 tables.
The new award is called "Special Recognition of Films That Reflect the Freedom of Expression." This sounded better than the "We Dare You to Show Up" award or the "You Made So Much Money Why Not Give Some To Us?" award.
My advice: Do the Globes and skip the Board of Review. But who knows? Gibson and Moore may wind up doing a speaking tour together. Stranger things have happened.
