As much as we’re sick of hearing about “The Dark Knight” this year and as much as we don’t want it to be nominated for Best Picture or any other major awards (we’re getting to him), the one exception of course being Heath Ledger as the Joker and man, we have to admit, this For Your Consideration poster is excellent.
Damn, if it isn’t moody as hell, inspires awe and empathy – the perfect tone that Warner Bros. were probably shooting for. Is this one in the bag? Well, the nomination surely is. Winning is something entirely different, but we’re sure he’s the favorite to win right now.
Who else could take it from him, Michael Shannon in “Revolutionary Road” who seems poised for a nomination already?
It seems doubtful, but there are a few weeks of 2008 to still play out of course.
