Directed by Christopher Nolan
Written by Jonathan and Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine and Maggie Gyllenhaal
Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.
Why It Will Win: Really look at the cast. Look it over good. It's stacked. Bale, Ledger, Caine, Oldman, Maggie, Freeman, Eckhart. Really good cast. The word on the street is that Ledger shines in his role as the Joker. At first, I didn't believe he could be nominated. Now it looks likely. Also, Nolan, despite his films not being very Oscar baity, he has still managed a screenwriting nod, and his films aren't foreign to cinematography nods, either. Maybe the Academy would like to nominate a blockbuster for Best Picture. It feels like that hasn't happened in awhile. Yet, maybe that could work against it.
Why It Will Not Win: It's a superhero movie; that not being the Academy's cup of tea. Also, another acting nod besides Ledger seems unlikely (honestly, I though Bale was like a robot in Batman Begins; Caine not much better). Also, let's be blunt, will it be good enough? I mean, maybe teen boys like it, but not all the early reviews have been glowing. Best Picture? Eh..no.
Nominations:
Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Heath Ledger)
Best Makeup
Best Cinematography
The Bottom Line: I CAN'T WAIT FOR JULY 18.
