The Dark Knight Nominated for Best Film by Producer's Guild of America

Continuity errors? What happened?

Best Picture:
1. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (Winner) 2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 3. Frost/Nixon 4. Milk 5. (Not sure; open to a few) The Dark Knight? Revolutionary Road?

I guess well just wait and see, it won't receive 'Editing' due to 2 continuity errors, well i'll be surprised if it does make that nomination.
Cinematography wouldn't surprise me if a 'Coen Bros' film is placed in there somewhere.
The film that deserves best cinematography is WALL-E, the cinematics and cinematography were out of this world and extrodinary.

But Ledger definately needs that oscar for supporting actor.

Come on people lets place in some oscar nominations.

Slumdog Millionaire
Benjamin Button
Challenging
Gran Torino
Burn After Reading
Frost/ Nixon

Any others

By the way: Well said, Movie Mage.
Agree with every word...

I see J.A. I understand the Academy's decision to not pick the film for the more prominent awards, such as Best Picture or Director (The rumors seem strong about Nolan, though). Surly The Dark Knight will receive nominations in categories such as Cinematography, Editing, Sound, Art, ect. So when you said "only;" I suppose you meant the five main awards.

We'll see in a week or two...

I also agree with you Movie Mage, but I really hope The Dark Knight comes out and surprises everyone. Ledger deserves the award for Best Supporting Actor no doubt, if he doesn't win I'll be upset. But honestly another thing I think The Dark Knight should be considered for is Best Director. I mean honestly Christopher Nolan is a true visionary, his work is amazing, he took a broken series and turned it completely around, honestly I think we can all agree that after we saw Batman & Robin that we thought that Batman was now dead, but then came along Nolan and turned the whole thing around, he made two films into something only one word can describe, masterpieces! Not only did Nolan direct the film he wrote the story with his brother and wrote the screenplay with David S. Goyer (and I think he also produced the film if I'm not mistaken), he put his heart and soul into this film just like he does with every film he makes and that's what makes him a truly great director. I think he's earned the right to at least be nominated, it's just my opinion though.

Wow. A Producer of the year nomination. Would you look at that. A certain someone I know should be eating their foot right about now.

I agree, Movie Mage that was a brilliant speech lol, well you put my point across.

Also 'Zany-Zap' it's already been 'officially' confirmed so far that The Dark Knight at the moment is only in the 'Best Actor In A Supporting Role' Category in the Oscars, for Heath Ledger's.
portrayal
There is also rumours circulating that 'Christopher Nolan' is in the category for 'best director.'

Thank you, The Fallen.

I've read that a bunch of members here are also members of the Academy, so there is a really good chance that TDK might get nominated for an oscar!

Holy shit yes!

jigsaw, there will never be a Mr. freeze in Nolan's world.
great speech Movie Mage.

idoit below me. i think tdk will win maybe a few, but i doubt this will happen, im glad it did get nominated. it's one of 2008's best! heath ledger should get the oscar, and maybe best picture, but other than that, i dont think it will win.

Its going to be hard the Dark Knight was awesome!!! and so was Button

There is absolutely no doubt that The Dark Knight is worthy of this award, and this is a perfect example of how one film can make a difference. TDK is an important film in modern times, and I don't think anyone will forget it. So yes, The Dark Knight will stand the test of time.

As much as I am a fervent supporter of The Dark Knight and believe that it deserves as many Oscar statues as it can get its hands on, I have to be realistic and truthfully say that it won't win many only because of the films it is up against. The films include: The Wrestler, Doubt, Frost/Nixon, Benjamin Button, Milk, Slumdog Millionaire, Revolutionary Road, maybe Gran Torino and/or Changeling, The Reader, etc. Please forgive and excuse me if I have left out any other Oscar contenders since I devoutly follow film and have my Oscar predictions down pat at this point.

A sad truth that I have difficulty coping with is the fact that the Academy doesn't truly recognize fantasy films as being Oscar contenders. I only hope that Return of the King was not just an anomaly, and not just one in a million. But if there is another fantasy film that deserves as many Oscars as The Return of the King got, then it is The Dark Knight. Both are epic films which few will forget.

Come Oscar time, I predict that Heath Ledger will indeed win the Best Supporting Actor award, but it is difficult to determine what other Oscars TDK will win just yet. Maybe Best Visual Effects. Who knows? Really, who knows? Maybe the Academy feels they owe it to Ledger and his legacy by giving him the second posthumous Oscar in film history. Truth is, we all owe Ledger a great deal because he gave a performance worth remembering! One thing I will always treasure and tell my future kids is the fact that I was alive to see Heath Ledger's mesmerizing portrayal of an iconic character when it first came out. Just like people in their thirties telling their kids now about how they felt when they saw Star Wars for the first time, and what it was like to see Darth Vader in action.

This is Heath Ledger's legacy.

hurray for dar night,itz da best movie ever made

oh snap Zany. R.I.P. man. lol.

outlaw: is that a trick question; The Dark Knight IS God...

{just kidding}

That's great news for The Dark Knight. I'd personally like to see Slumdog Millionaire win; it truly mesmerized, and there's a good chance it will take home the award.

J.A. Ottley: "it's only been given the nomination of 'Best Actor In A Supporting Role' for Heath Ledger." The Oscar nominations come out later this month?
I believe The Dark Knight deserves a nomination, but I "seriously" doubt it will win. In fact, there's really no chance......

According to what i heard it's only been given the nomination of 'Best Actor In A Supporting Role' for Heath Ledger, in the Oscars

I'm glad TDK got nominated and I hope it also gets a nod at the Oscars,but only God himself can make TDK win.I love the movie,but its just not Oscar winning material.Maybe TCCOBB will win,but Slumdog is my pick.

What all you guys said. Lol.

Benjamin Button for Best film, if not then Frost/Nixon.
Milk & Slumdog Millionaire i have yet to see. Well Slumdog Millionaire i'm seeing tomorrow at a special preview screening where Danny Boyle will be there for a Q & A
TDK has the least chance of winning, Films that win major awards tend to be more politically, socially and more drama based or real-life, not comics.
I reckon TDK only made it due to the fact of all the uproars that it should be nominated for an oscar in Best Film Category.

Best animated film, no doubt about it, WALL-E. Any film that can be praised in cinematography and come on no one here can deny that the cinematography in WALL-E wasn't amazing and also having a main character that is not human but giving humane characteristics and the simple fact, there was little as dialogue as possible and it still kept viewers interested in a time of day and age like this deserves as much prestige awards as it can grabs its hands on

And here we go...

Yeah, what Messenger said lol

Great news. The Dark Knight or Benjamin Button could win. Wall-E or Kung Fu Panda could win. Thats what I think.

WALL-E as a character is probably one the best in animation history. When you create a character that is NOT human you give the human elements to make them lovable or give the audience a way to relate to them. WALL-E was leaps and bounds beyond Panda.

Rockin.

I don't know why Australia doesn't get recognized more. To me, that was better than TDK, but I'm really glad TDK just got nominated. It raises the bar even more. I haven't seen Benjamin Button yet, but have heard it was amazing

Wall-E was great, much better than Panda, which I liked, but Wall-E was ultimately the more heartwarming feature, and it even made me laugh a few times. I haven't seen Bolt, but I doubt it's better than Wall-E

The Dark Knight for best film, followed by Benjamin Button. For best Animated Film, its WALL-E, although 'Panda was funnier.
