NO GOLDEN GLOBE BEST DRAMA AWARD for Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ:

"Passion," meanwhile, cannot compete for best drama because the organization's rules limit that prize for movies in English � while the dialogue of "Passion" is mostly in Aramaic.

"Yes, we know Aramaic is not a spoken language and, yes, we know the film doesn't have a country of origin," said HFPA president Lorenzo Soria.

"But our bylaws state that when a film is in a language that is preponderantly non-English, it's a foreign-language film."

"Passion" can compete in all other categories, including best foreign film and a possible best actor nod for Jim Caviezel as Jesus Christ.
