Dark Knight

There could be a trend breaking surprise for all the fans when the nominations for the 81st Annual Academy Awards will be announced on early Thursday morning. The Dark Knight, which was the biggest blockbuster and box office hit of the decade could be the first superhero movie to be nominated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for an Oscar in the best film category.

The squeal of the Batman movie have received raving critical acclamation  and has been springing up a lot of momentum lately particularly with its nominations for the Producers Guild of America, the Directors Guild of America Award, the Writers Guild of America Award and several other crafts honors.

Even if the movie cant make it to the Best Picture category it will certainly bag one in the best supporting actor category. All credit to the late Heath Ledger, who died a year ago of an overdose of prescription pills.

Among the other films that might bag a nomination in the best picture category could be the critics favorite “Slumdog Millionaire”. The film has swept 4 golden globes early this month. “Frost/Nixon,” “Milk” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” will give neck to neck fight in this category.
