Anyone think it was a crime "The Dark Knight" didn't get a Best Picture nomination?

i thought dark knight was weak and contrived, and if that guy didnt die he wouldnt have been nominated

Totally Disagee. Death or no death that was a friggin haunting performance. Some argue they forget that was even watching Ledger when watching the movie. If you seen him Brokeback or The Patriot, this joker character was nothing like this dude. Let alone that he naturally carries an aussie accent.

you don't know much about movies if you think it's a crime that Dark Knight should've been nominated for BP. Great, fun movie no doubt, but a movie like Iron Man was just as much fun and a great movie to watch like DK. Do you think it's a crime that Iron Man didn't get nominated? Heath Ledger being nominated and recognized for his performance as Joker is enough for DK. You might think that the films that are usually nominated for BP are boring overrated pieces of garbage compared to a fun pop corn flick like DK, but that's how the Oscar's been and will be in the future. No chance in hell a movie like DK ever gets nominated for BP

I enjoyed Iron Man wayyy more than Dark Knight.

I know it seems blasphemous to say, but Dark Knight is over-rated,
and even more over-rated is Heath Ledger's performance.

Heck, I liked Jack Nicholson's joker better as far as acting and
entertainment.

I enjoyed watching Dark Knight quite a bit but I also think that along with Ledger's performance they're both overrated. I highly doubt that if he was alive today everyone would think he's a lock to win let alone get nominated.
