Visit if you liked Dark Knight. Visit if you liked Heath Ledger's performance. Visit if you're sick of the Academy being predictable. Visit if you only want comic book based movies to get some REAL credibility as an art form.

I heard about this site in my local paper and they had a point. If Obama can win through what was relatively a grass roots movement. Why can't Oscars be determined similarly?

It's worth an Oscar for the disappearing pencil trick by itself.

I feel like a person deserves an Oscar if they can move an audience and have that performance stay with them after the movie is over. Ledger did both those things, and should get some credit for it. Plus this is his last chance at an award, so why not?

By the very merit that this film has moved people to start a grass-roots campaign I'd say the film is an influential and important work of art.

I'll start this out by saying that this thread is dangerously on topic
