Dark Knight Campaign Steamrolls Towards You!

Without question, ‘The Dark Knight’ was one of the best surprises of the year. But there are some out there (dangerously obsessive fanboys) that will declare a holy war if the film doesn’t win Best Picture at this year’s Oscars. The above fan made video is a taster of the effort they will go to snare the golden boy for their beloved film.

Now, hmm, three things; One, The Dark Knight should not win Best Picture simply because that stamp of ‘approval’ means nothing to the quality of said film and if it does win then watch as the tide of good will towards the film slowly turns in the other direction. Two, if The Dark Knight doesn’t win then it will slot into the category of beloved films that never won Best Picture: Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption; all of which are films that we have maybe taken to our hearts a bit more because they were shunned by the popular vote of the thousands of those fuddy duddy Academy members. Three, Maybe it’s not the best film of the year…..

Those periods up there is how you write the sound of someone running for dear life.
