Today the Oscar list came out, giving each category with the movies up for an Oscar.  While I generally do not care which movies are on the list because they tend to be independent films, I am surprised that the number one grossing movie of the year and second only to Titanic would be left off.

The Dark Knight was a masterpiece, combining reality with fantasy.  It was the Godfather of our generation and people will be using it as a springboard for future comic films (hopefully not another Fantastic Four).  The acting of both Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart was superb; Ledger being so good that you were convinced that he was the Joker the whole time.  The one thing I do dislike about the film is that Christian Bale has that stupid deep voice when Batman, even when it is just him and Rachael Dawes.  She knows who you are, Bruce Wayne, dump the voice.

Watching this film on Blu-Ray makes me truly appreciate the film and I am disappointed that it was snubbed because it isn’t the “normal” film they put up for Oscars.
