The Dark Knight The Oscar Push!

[Kargo Warrior]

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.

There is not a chance for him to lose...he's a virtual lock.

He has all the hype,every other award whether American,British or Australian...and he doesn't have a big opponent.

And of course everyone will be pissed in the 0,000000001% he doesnt' win,since it will prove that the oscars are ridiculous,i mean if that would happen it will crush every little ounce of integrity they have left.

He has won everything else by everyone else...how would they justify giving the award to someone else?

oh my effin god SLUMDOG WON DIRECTOR!!!!........EFFIN DIRECTOR!!! thats stupid.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Was Nolan even nominated for best director?

 

[redfirebird2008]

TDK is nominated for 8 categories. It's not like it's false advertising.

Showing clips of Chris Nolan is false advertising, since, you know, he's NOT nominated.

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....)

No, It isn't the only reason

How about Loews Lincoln Imax Theatre?

Mickey won best actor, yay

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well done Mickey!!!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Funny bastard. Great guy

 

[Kargo Warrior]

Awesome acting awards...simply awesome

Penelope,Heath,Kate and Mickey...completely deserved.

I dunno, I didn't feel Nolan's stamp as much on BB. BB is the least Nolanesque movie in his filmography. That's why I was amazed when the first reviews of TDK came out and some called it Nolan's "pinnacle." I wasn't sure if he'd really go full Nolan on a tentpole Batman movie.

I disagree. Batman Begins uses flashbacks, which is a typical Nolan feature. TDK is the one that is different from his other movies since it's told in a straight linear style.

I guess they didn't air editing...I'd say Slumdog won though

 

[baronghede]

Where can I see this online?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Try BBC.com or something.

slumdog won best film..........no comment

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well it was inevitable really.

 

[GlasgowBat]

at least it wasn't benjamin button.

 

[WVsax27]

I liked Benjamin Button most out of the films they nominated...it was the only one of the 5 that made my own top 5

I agree WV. Slumdog is one of the most overrated films in recent years. Of course, that's just my opinion.

 

[WVsax27]

Slumdog just missed my top 10...I did have it in there, but Rachel Getting Married bumped a few movies down

 

[redfirebird2008]

I agree WV. Slumdog is one of the most overrated films in recent years. Of course, that's just my opinion.

It wouldn't be overrated if it wasn't winning literally every single "best picture" award of the awards season. At the rate it's winning, you would think it's the only good movie of 2008 or that it's somehow an all-time great. I don't think either is the case. People have just decided that they want it to win because of the subject matter. It's a pretty good movie but by no means should it be winning literally every award.

 

[Boom]

If anyone catches the BAFTA Awards taping tonight on BBC, could you please record and post Heath Ledger's segment online?

 

[WVsax27]

TDK won a Grammy!

 

[Kargo Warrior]

James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer took home a trophy for Best Score for The Dark Knight, beating out Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Iron Man, There Will Be Blood and Wall-E.

That's what happens when musicians choose the awards...not some actors or producers or directors.

No wonder Slumdog wasnt even nominated.

Exactly what I was thinking. It's a shame that these awards are voted on mostly by actors. Why is an actor allowed to vote for Best editing or whatever? They are no more of an expert in that field than you and me. And what they typically do is vote for the same movie that they supported for Best Picture. In this case, it's Slumdog. Which means Slumdog will likely win pretty much every category it's in at the Oscars.
