Do you think "The Dark Knight" will get nominated for any Oscars?

[Barefoot Jedi]

Usually fanboy films get the cold shoulder except in special effects categories (often for good reason). But I wonder if this will buck the trend like "The Return of the King" did.

I could see it getting nominations for:

Best Picture
Best Director
Best Screenplay
Best Supporting Actor (Heath Ledger)
Special Effects
Best Makeup
Best Costumes

What do you think?

i say health ledger wins an award

[Headman]

I didn't think they actually gave best picture to movies people actually went to see. Of course Heath was their darling so maybe.

[mswi]

Heath should definatley get best supporting. that was an incredible performance!!

[Phorpus]

I would actually be flabbergasted if Dark Knight didn't get at least 3 nominations for the Oscars.

Although it might start to be overshadowed when Oscar season rolls around.

[MTN]

yeah i defintley think it will. i went to go see it seven times already. the joker had the greatest scenes. it should at least bring home two awards.

No because of Hollywood bias... the only reason that Lord of the Rings got the award it deserves was because of the out cry from the people and fan base

[L.T. SEAL]

heath ledger will win an award hands down as soon as he died they gave him the award

[darthZartan]

Does it deserve a tuck load of oscars? Yes.

Will it happen? Who knows. The academy is a run by a bunch of baffoons.

i would say Best Supporting Actor (Heath Ledger) is possible only because hes dead and it will be a "in memory of" type of deal, even though his performance was outstanding.
