It broke box office records and was an entertainment and social phenomenon in 2004... So why wasn't Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ (search)" nominated for a Golden Globe (search) award yesterday? We'll ask Hollywood expert Tom O'Neil author of the book "Movie Awards: The Ultimate, Unofficial Guide to the Oscars, Golden Globes, Critics, Guild and Indie Honors" when he joins us this evening.
Plus, in an interview broadcast on "60 Minutes" on Sunday, correspondent Mike Wallace sat down with retiring South Carolina Democrat Sen. Fritz Hollings (search). Here's some of what Hollings said to Wallace about the state of the Democratic and Republican parties in the South today, as posted on the CBS News Web site:
"We had a sweetheart deal with the National Democratic Party. 'We’ll go along with all your programs, if you’ll go along with our segregation.' But once that Civil Rights Bill passed in 1964, then Lyndon friend became Lyndon the enemy," says Hollings.
"And now, the Republican party is white, and the Democratic party is the majority black, I would say [in South Carolina]. And in Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia. You can just go right across the spectrum."
"What are you saying? That all of these folks that keep voting Republican are racist," asks Wallace.
"Not quite. They are conservative. They honestly don't believe in government, like we do in the Democratic Party," says Hollings, laughing.
Say what?! We'll debate Hollings' comments with Niger Innis, National Spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality

About the Show
Fast-paced and hard-hitting, "Hannity & Colmes" brings viewers a heated discussion in a nightly face-off. Relishing in controversial topics, personalities and social issues, conservative radio commentator Sean Hannity and liberal radio personality Alan Colmes offer their points-of-view in an often animated, always compelling debate.
But, unlike similar debate shows — which often appear scripted — "Hannity & Colmes" conducts a live, spur of the moment deliberation on politics and social topics. Also, differentiating the show is its dedication to "move away from the Beltway," bringing audiences an alternative discussion program without the "in" comments.
Adding fuel to the fire, several high-profile guests have joined the program on a wide-range of topics.
"With guests who are 'in the middle of the fight,' we're able to hear their point-of-view on the topics, as well as advance our own feelings," said Hannity.
"Believe it or not, I agree with that statement," quipped Colmes.
