But, in the future, what kind of doors will the Dark Knight open if it get nominated? I know there aren't any set criteria, but what would take for an action movie to receive a nod? Some people single out the story or acting performances. I agree with that, but does it Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-40298177359762185772008-10-22T13:10:00.000-04:002008-10-22T13:10:00.000-04:00It definitely could be.

The Dark Knight was a truly brilliant and genre-defying picture that should and will get a best picture nomination. Huge difference, IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-48348578438211574822008-10-22T00:17:00.000-04:002008-10-22T00:17:00.000-04:00I think it's very unlikely.

Casino Royale was in a similair situation two years ago, and while it was a big hit with the BAFTAs, it was left cold at the Oscars, even for Best Original Song. Exposure for Craig will help, but I think this year can only handle one potential mega-hit Best Picture nominee.Josh P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02215026600925749164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-91782851240466156502008-10-21T23:49:00.000-04:002008-10-21T23:49:00.000-04:00Although this would seem fair, I can not see Quant...Although this would seem fair, I can not see Quantum of Solace having half as good of performances as displayed in The Dark Knight or a story that can compete with Nolan's. What it could possibly do is help Daniel Craig with Defiance? Guess we will see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
