Awards Daily —
... The Dark Knight is still, as far as I can see, one of the best films of the year.

Just because it appeals to young people doesn’t make it not Oscar-worthy. ...

... is or was or could potentially become, folks have kick-started something called The Dark Campaign -- a site dedicated to getting their favorite film of the year a little recognition come Oscar time. Personally, I'm not sure what an Oscar nod or two could add to this film's resume, especially since it definitely doesn't need the money. Not only is The Dark Knight approaching $1 billion at the box office, but chances are it will also become the year's hottest-selling DVD when it arrives in stores next week. Obviously it's a popular movie. Obviously a lot of ...

All that’s required was to have 1/6 of the voters place it at the top of the pile, which is not outside the Weinstein Company’ lobby reach. It is a Holocaust film, after all, and the air of importance is a necessity for any Oscar contender. This is undoubtedly disappointing for the fans who have tried so hard to campaign for the film—most notably the website DarkCampaign.com —but perhaps this letter from a certain screenwriter, sent to the site on ...
