When was the last time you saw a movie this good or had this much fun in theaters? Jurassic Park? Seriously people, get your head on straight and ignore the fact that this is a comic book film because its bigger then that. Its not Ironman, but a REAL DEAL film. Give them the respect and honor it. They should win most of the awards this year. Not MILK, not Slumdog Millionaire and not Frost/Nixon.

"The Dark Knight, which had been picking all the right endorsements in the run-up to the Oscars, failed to win over Golden Globe voters, earning just one nomination. Or, as many as Pineapple Express... As expected, The Dark Knight's Heath Ledger was nominated posthumously in the supporting actor category... As not expected, The Dark Knight didn't figure in anywhere else, not in the Best Drama race, not in the Best Director race."
