For Your Consideration...
Well, it appears that Warner Bros is totally sucking up to all the people who can vote for Oscars. In many of the Hollywood Trade Magazines ( Variety, Hollywood Reporter, etc..) they have placed full-page ads to remind the voters that THE DARK KNIGHT Batman movie deserves a lot of Oscars. Shown here are just a few but there are a lot more! The 1st nomination that I think needs to be honored is for Heath Ledger as The Joker. He truly did an amazing job & I'm not just saying that to be nice because he passed away. He really deserves it & he will be missed. It's kind of sad to think about all the future performances we will be missing out on. He's seriously a great talent. Of course there are many other Best Supporting Actors who should be included too. The list would be Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, & Morgan Freeman. The whole cast did an incredible job! The Dark Knight easily deserves Best Movie of The Year while Christopher Noland should get Best Director. Also, let's not forget Best Supporting Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, she's wonderful. I also think we should even mention Christian Bale for his contribution. The movie deserves a lot of "technical awards" for stuff like Art Direction, Film Editing, Best Make Up, Best Costume Design, etc...we'll have to wait & see. Because of The Dark Knight Batman movie this year's Oscars Award Show should be pretty fun to watch, & kind of nerve-racking too, ha ha!

If the movie wins some awards, that's cool. If not, no big deal to me.
For the most part, awards are just an industry's way of patting itself on the back. Even if The Dark Knight wins no awards, that won't take away from the enjoyment and amazement viewers felt while watching it.
I guess one could say that the award hype just keeps the movie top-of-mind for a lot of people, no that it's going to be forgotten any time soon. I love the impact the movie had.
To be brutally frank, I don't think that The Dark Knight will win, or be nominated for anything other than costumes and SFX; it's the nature of the Oscar beast to do that to a movie like The Dark Knight to begin with. If it dosen't get nominated for Best Screenplay & Best Picture, I won't be disappointed.
For me, the awards that The Dark Knight will get are going to be the MTV Movie Awards, the Hugo Awards, the People's Choice Awards, the Spacey Awards (given out by the Canadian TV channel Space: The Imagination Station) and most importantly, the Saturn Awards. The first-mentioned one and this last one are the ones that really matter in terms of movies like these, and will get more respect, since fans of SF/F will vote for it and make it the best movie-a great win-win situation for all concerned, and better than whatever Oscar will bestow.
