Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:41PM For Your Consideration - Heath Ledger in 'The Dark Knight'
We officially kicked off our
For Your
Consideration coverage about ten days ago with a look at Warner
Bros.' official awards-friendly website. It only featured
The Dark Knight and
Gran Torino, the new Clint Eastwood movie due
out in December. Does that mean they're punting on the rest of their movies? I
don't know, but it's odd that they'd have Gran Torino on there already
and not some of their earlier films, like Body of Lies, Appaloosa,
and even for technical awards, Speed Racer and Journey to the Center
of the Earth.

But the studio is, no doubt, behind The Dark Knight, as evidenced by the new full-page ad in Variety touting some guy in make-up.

I still think Heath Ledger has the best shot to win Best Supporting Actor, and the movie's best shot to win a major award. We'll update the For Your Consideration files soon; we got a fresh batch of screeners from the indie studios this past week and I expect the majors and mini-majors will try to get us a few titles to watch over the four-day weekend.

Heath Ledger deserves the Best Supporting Actor award more than anyone else this year by far. He just threw himself into the role and made his Joker the Joker. The Academy doesn't know what a awesome performance is if Heath doesn't win.

The story of this movie is seems to me little bit suspense movie.
I think Heath ledger will win the award for this movie.
Definitely this movie be a great block buster because Heath Ledger is an out standing actor from all the time.
