‘The Dark Knight’ begins push for Heath Ledger

Submitted by Scott on Monday, 24 November 20082 Comments

WB is starting a push for Heath Ledger and ‘The Dark Knight’ for Best Supporting Actor and Best Picture as you can see from the two below posters. Now I can easily see Ledger for Best Supporting Actor, but ‘The Dark Knight’ as best picture is a stretch and maybe even a big one. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved the movie, but it is not Best Picture worthy. I know that I am going to take a lot of flack from the super geek ‘TDK’ fanboys but those fanboys were also calling for these awards a month out of ‘The Dark Knight’ releasing!

The posters are also very different than the posters/promo items they did for the movie release, these posters are actually almost completely opposite of what they were using to push the movie.

I will get behind Heath Ledger for Best Supporting Actor, but give me a break on the ‘Best Picture’ consideration WB… not going to happen.
THX to Cinematical for the posters.

    Your not going to catch any flack. Just have someone start your car for you if Charles is around. I think the highest grossing film of all time should carry at least a nomination. But I believe Slumdog or Seven Pounds will take it away from the caped crusader. The supporting nomination is a slam dunk and win is probable. The movie was awesome..but like comedies …comicbook films don’t win acting awards from the acadamy.

    Hell yeah we were calling for these awards a month before the movie came out. That’s because we knew what Christopher Nolan was capable of, and he did not disappoint.

    As much as I loved Seven Pounds, I really don’t think a Best Picture nod is in its future.
