The Dark Knight’s Score Is Oscar-Eligible Again! Yipee!
The Dark Knight's score is so catchy - we haven't been able to stop whistling that abstract discordant screech for months. So when we heard that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had banned the score to The Dark Knight from Oscar eligibility on a technicality, we were furious - it was easily the biggest Oscars outrage since Geri Halliwell's turn in The Fat Slags didn't win Best Supporting Actress in 2004. But the good news is that the Academy has reversed its decision - now The Dark Knight's score can lose to the Alvin & The Chipmunks OST like nature intended.
The Dark Knight Probably Not Going To Win All The Oscars Now
The Dark Knight is a sensation - the second-biggest movie of all time and easily the best film about a gimp punching a clown ever. So, come Oscar night, you'd expect that The Dark Knight would wipe the floor with the competition - especially since the competition seems to be a million underperforming films about gloomy people from 35 years ago - but you're wrong. It's just been announced that The Dark Knight can't win the Oscar for Best Score because it was composed by too many people. That'll be disappointing for the crew of The Dark Knight, but they'll get over it - not least because the 2009 Oscars will introduce categories for Best Irredeemably Bleak Summer Movie and Silliest And Most Indecipherable Voice Employed By A Lead Actor, which The Dark Knight is already a dead cert for.
