The Dark Knight Nominated for a Directors Guild of America Award

Source:  DGA
Batman is certainly getting some major love from the guilds. After being nominated by the Producers Guild of America, the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild, the last major guild, the Directors Guild of America, has nominated The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan for Best Director.

He is joined by David Fincher for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire, Ron Howard for Frost/Nixon and Gus Van Sant for Milk.

With all these guild nominations in tow, it seems that The Dark Knight could be in line for some serious Oscar contention, but we'll have to wait until January 22, when the Oscar nominations are announced, to find out.

Wowwwww, some one's got their panties in a bunch.

Did tha poor baby from movieweb not get to see his gay Onimusha film that's been cancelled because Christopher Gans decided to write Silent Hill 2
Awwwwww, poor baby, now STFU and go sit in the corner with your dunce hat.

I would use your line, killerman, but its sounds like your deep-throating something.

Lol, comrade. Same, TDK was great, but their ruining it more and more by mentioning it so much, Its getting old. And I'm pretty sure Heath is not in hell.

He's not resting in peace. He's resting in hell and so will you comrade. Fuck you darkknight and your love for heath. The Dark Knight wasn't all that and neither was Heath. Why would the decease care about respect? Truthfully, TDk is done. Last year. Whoever's remember this is a nostalgic, bitch. J.A. go fuck your granddaddy or is he dead like heath, too.

Killerman that's fucked up the dude is dead and you just put him on blast like that. Also who give a flying fuck about Onimusha anyway. Have respect for the deceased. also TDK was a good movie that's why people keep talking about it.

Yeah, I never envisioned myself saying this, but I'm getting pretty tired of hearing about The Dark Knight.

Erm lets review Onimusha was due for release in 2006... So i'm guessing Heath couldn't haven't topped himself in 2008.
The script was crap any way i read it the film's been dropped accept it.
Killerman do yourself a favour don't even speak or type you just make yourself sounds more idiotic every time you hit 'Post Comment'

Norman Quartermain i agree with you on your statement, but i was speaking in terms of critics review. Also agree with Comrade as well.

Fuckin bitch ass Heath Ledger. I hope he's burnt to a crisp in hell. That stupid idiot put the Onimusha movie into a hiatus. Everything was going to schedule. He was in one of the lead roles. Then the dumbass takes too many pills. Fucking asshole!

Can't MW just wait until all the nominations are in and then post one story about TDK? We know it's up for awards, seriously, not that interesting. It's like they think they can keep us entertained by mentioning ANYTHING about TDK.
