The Dark Knight Rises Will Dark Knight Rises win some Oscars?

[Poeman]

Okay, so we all remember Return of the King was the coming out party for Peter Jackson and the rest all receiving basically honorary awards for their fantastic trilogy...And I know they gave one for Heath's performance

But lets say the reviews are out, and this gets major recognition like Dark Knight

Does the Academy finally recognize this year that Dark Knight Rises deserves the big picture awards?

This may go down as one of the highest praised trilogies of all time

So...does Nolan win Best Director? Does this have a shot for Best Picture? Cinematography? Score?

Wally better win an Oscar here

 

[Boom]

This is incredibly premature, but I can't see any film beating Spielberg's Lincoln. So until I see something that indicates otherwise, that's my guess.

 

[EliteF50]

Bale and Hardy better get some nominations, Wally, Chris and Lee too!

I didn't even know about this film. JGL, Tommy Lee Jones and James Spader spark my interest.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

I think Jonah and Chris should get a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay

It's going to be very hard to TDKR this year. There is way more competition than there was back in 08. What worries me the most, however, is Lincoln preventing TDKR from winning anything. I think the Academy Awards are too politically motivated to be able to resist giving Lincoln every single award, even if the movie turns out to be a big mess or historically inaccurate. It doesn't matter, they don't often think before they give an award. I really hope I am just being paranoid though.

From what I have seen, Wally had been win a freaking Oscar this year. The Cinematography in TDKR looks beautiful...

 

[Boom]

Lincoln is based on Goodwin's book Team of Rivals, so I wouldn't worry so much about the film's historical accuracy. Couple that with a great cast and a supposedly phenomenal script (the cast can't stop raving about it), I think we may be looking at Spielberg's best film since Saving Private Ryan. And Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln speaks for itself.

I'm a fan of film, first and foremost. So as is the case every year, I want the best film to be recognized. If that turns out to be Lincoln, great. If it's The Dark Knight Rises, that'd be great too.

I tend to agree with you, but Spielberg has been hit or miss too...Daniel Day Lewis probably has Best Actor locked up. Thats about it

 

[DACrowe]

Ridiculous question. Who knows if it's going to be that good yet?

If it's in the same ballpark as TDK or Inception, it should get nominated with the new nominating process (that was created pretty much because TDK got snubbed in 2008). But it won't win BP unless it is mind numbingly amazing. I mean so much so that it makes TDK look like an unambitious popcorn flick.

I think it will be nominated for a lot of technical awards (VFX, Editing, Cinematography, Art Direction, Sound Editing, etc.) and probably will win a few of them. I hope, like Ledger, it breaks into the more prestigious categories like Director for Nolan and perhaps Supporting Actress for Hathaway. Even Screenplay. But any of those seem like a long shot and I highly doubt it will win in any of those categories.

 

[MrWayne]

I really do hope so. I really do. This final trailer and everything before it has really given me the feeling that this will have a lot of people talking.

Awards for Cinematography, Musical Score & Best Acting better be the course of the day!

 

[Boom]

If the script is as good as the cast is making it out to be (John Hawkes has been especially vocal about it), then I strongly believe that this will be his best film since Saving Private Ryan. It has all the makings of a great movie. It just comes down to the script.

As for DDL, unless it is unanimously agreed upon by everyone that he delivers the best performance of his career, I don't think he'll win. He's got some stiff competition this year, and the Academy might be hesitant to give him his third Oscar for a leading role (which would make him the first actor to do so).

 

[B]

Have to see the film first in order to answer this question..

 

[Sith Scotti]

Afterr The Reader got a nomination and TDK got snubbed I say who gives a **** to the oscars ....



That said I do preditct TDKR will get a Best Pic nomination and unfortuantely their chances of winning is really not good since the academy loves Spielberg

um bro, DDL has been LIVING IN CHARACTER since March 2011...This is not a lie. He is very serious about nailing this down. I dont doubt a second that he will be outshined...He is the best actor in the business

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

you never know. LOTR: Return of the King got a win a few years back. and with TDK getting screwed last time around, i can see the Academy giving it some nominations. don't know about wins though.

TKDR will get nominated because the Academy can have up to 10 nominees. But it won't win because it's a genre film and Lincoln will likely be amazing. If Nolan actually gets his first nomination for direction (ridiculous, eh?) for this film though, I'll be happy. I also hope its gets a screenplay nomination and perhaps Hathaway is nominated for Supporting Actress as well. Of course the movie has to be good, first.

Also, the Academy does not "love" Spielberg. He's more or less in the same position Nolan was, or used to be. He was snubbed for nominations for Jaws, Close Encounters and Raiders of the Lost Ark. He won when he made a (heatbreaking) Holocaust film, but he hasn't won BP since. He only has won one other Best Director Oscar and it was for Saving Private Ryan, but he still lost BP to Shakespeare in Love.

Nolan, like Spielberg and like Hitchcock and Ford as well, is looked down upon by the Academy for much of his career because he makes populist entertainment. Nevermind, he infuses art into that populism and makes great films. They never like that.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Nolan will get Best Director and Best Picture this time. I'd add screenplay. Academy owe him this much.

Actors - doubt that. But that would be nice if Anne got a nomination. And Bale too.

 

[Liam_H]

Unless this movie blows away peoples minds. All I see is a gimme nomination for Best Picture (b/c 10 is possible now) and Best Director at best. Just can't see Academy giving it a shot to win. Technical awards wouldn't be that surprising since TDK already got that.

 

[batlovescatDC]

I don't really expect this to happen, but my dream would be this:

Chris Nolan nominated for Best Director

The Nolans and Goyer nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay

Bale nominated for Best Actor

Oldman and Caine nominated for Best Supporting Actor

Hathaway nominated for Best Supporting Actress

Wally nominated for Best Cinematography

and Zimmer nominated for Best Score

I'm not really all about them winning. But it would be great for them just to get some recognition for all of their great work.

 

[MrWayne]

I wonder what Bale will be looking like at the next award show Lol

 

[Nevincer]

I reckon Wally might win for cinemtography but that would probably be it. The trailer looked mindblowing nice.

Yeah. I would love for it to win best picture but with Lincoln as competition and potential nominees in The Hobbit and Prometheus, it has its work cut out for it.

 

[venus_ice]

Oscars? Not for any actors or for Chris. Technical awards are a good bet. Wally has the biggest shot at a win IMO.
