What? Did I read that right? Mel Gibson got so many headlines for his drunken, anti-Semitic spiel, that him winning an award seems out of place. As soon as you find out it's from the Latino Business Group, it makes it that much weirder.
"Mel Gibson was honored by a Latino business organization Thursday for his upcoming film Apocalypto."
His film Apocalypto seems like a strange venture for the actor. The movie is a "Mayan-language epic filmed in Mexico chronicling the decline of the native civilization."
But after watching a screening of the film, association Chairman Rick Sarmiento ssaid the board unanimously voted to give Gibson the award from the Latino community.
"It's not really a Hollywood production. It's a film made by Mexico, in a way," Gibson told the audience, citing the movie's crew of Latino makeup artists and set designers, and a cast of unknown actors."
