The Dark Knight The Oscar Push!

How did TDK not win cinematography?

How did TDK not win cinematography?

The entire BAFTA committee (as will AMPAS) votes on the tech categories. So it's not like they have ANY clue what they're doing - they're just swept along in the Slumdog love. And Wally Pfister will win his Oscar for a later movie which he might not deserve to.

As long as The Reader doesn't win!

BAFTA missed Cinematography last year...this seems to me like a year where they are just going crazy for a British film. I again bring up the year when Titanic won NOTHING...not even tech awards.

The Duchess wins costumes

Better to be pleasantly surprised. I have no more faith in the rest of the awards season - Slumdog will win everything it's nominated for. And anything else will be an upset.

I don't think it will win both Sound awards at the Oscars

At this rate, you never know.

Although it really either should be Wall-E or TDK. But as I said, no more faith.

I think WALL-E is the hands-down best-mixed film of the year. Especially when taking into consideration there is no sound recorded on a location. Ben Burtt and his collaborators kicked all kinds of a** on that project.

I think the Oscars will give TDK something other than supporting actor

Does anyone knows the sizes of the Imax screens in New York City? Are they really big? I want to catch the rerun of The Dark Knight over there. But since we in Amsterdam only got some crappy small screen Imax I wanna know if it's "worth the trip".

 

[WVsax27]

at least Cruz won supporting actress..I was afraid they might give that to Freida Pinto

It depends on the theater - you'll have to look up each one. And hopefully you'll be in NYC for more than that, LOL! Otherwise you might as well just make the trip to London and be done with it. (And even then....)

 

[WVsax27]

Button won effects...can't argue with that one

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I bet Heath doesn't win.

 

[Kargo Warrior]

Heath!!!!!

 

[Anita18]

I bet Heath doesn't win.

Nope, he did.

At least they aren't totally messing up the acting categories.

 

[Kargo Warrior]

Anyone doubting the Oscar lock yet is sorry to say but a fool!

 

[WVsax27]

Charles Roven picked up the award

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I'm glad I was wrong. Well done Heath

 

[WVsax27]

I think Goldie Hawn was high

 

[Ace of Knaves]

She started crying didn't she?

Sharon Stone was on something.

 

[Kargo Warrior]

To be honest i hardly controlled myself from shading a tear...so emotional.

I'm so happy for Heath

Now watch, if he don't win the Oscar, yet wins every other award under the sun, people will still gripe. Because the Oscar is like the big man on campus to people, whereas everything else is just vying to be like him.

 

[TDKfanatic]

Roven's speech was pretty moving.

The Oscars are also supposed to be fairly relevant.

I dunno if people would gripe as much as completely dismiss the Oscars if he loses.

well.........that's becuase that's the way it is.........
