Dark Knight Wins People’s Choice Awards, Becomes ‘That’ Film If you've been waiting for the proper time to start the Dark Knight backlash, then we've got some good news for you. Last night The Dark Knight swept the People's Choice Awards - the most white-bread, gonkishly populist, helmet-wearing awards show in the world. In other words, The Dark Knight is the film that fans of Kid Rock, Kate Hudson and Two And A Half Men like best. In essence, this makes The Dark Knight the new Pirates Of The Caribbean - good news for anyone who wanted Batman 3 to feature three hours of Christian Bale running around pulling self-consciously barmy faces all the time.

People’s Choice Awards Still Heavy On The Pirates

If awards season is a family then the Oscars are obviously the father and the Golden Globes are the slightly tarty aunt who your mum never really gets on with.

And the People's Choice Awards? Well, the People's Choice Awards are the annoying shit-thick brat of a crosseyed kid who needs to be constantly dosed up to the wazoo on Ritalin to stop him from crapping on the rug, cutting his own hair with the electric carver or flushing the dog down the toilet.

How do we know this? Because at the People's Choice Awards last night Pirates Of The Caribbean 3 won Best Film. Even though it was obviously awful.
