From comic Jay Leno:

"The Passion of the Christ" didn't receive any nominations for major
awards. This isn't the first time that Jesus has gotten bad treatment.

Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ" wasn't nominated for any of
the major awards, but it did get one for best musical score. Which is kind
of strange, isn't it? You're watching a film where Jesus is dying on the
cross and people are going, "Hey, catchy tune."
