11th January, 2005

Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ has been named America’s favorite drama movie for 2004 at the 31st People’s Choice Awards.

Gibson, who put $40 million of his own money into the movie, reportedly told the audience that the award was the best of his career.

“I depended on you and you were there...” he said. “To me, the people have spoken.”

Other winners at this year’s awards included Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 which was named the country’s favorite film and Shrek 2 which took out a host of awards including those for best comedy and animated movies, favorite sequel, favorite animated movie star (Donkey) and favorite movie villain (the Fairy Godmother).
