When Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight was launched in 2008, a lot of followers thought the film needs to be nominated for Best Picture on the Academy Awards, but it surely wasn’t, and the followers have been left disenchanted. At least the late Heath Ledger received the nomination and win for his portrayal of The Joker.
If that film was launched at this time, director Steven Spielberg believes it could have gotten that nomination! When speaking in regards to the Academy’s choice to develop the Best Picture listing of nominees to 10 movies, Spielberg instructed Deadline:
“I’m really encouraged by that. It came late for the film that should have been nominated a number of years ago: Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. That movie would have definitely garnered a Best Picture Nomination today.”
Spielberg additionally identified the inclusion of movies like Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water on the listing of this 12 months’s Best Picture nominees. This is the primary time that a number of sequels have been nominated for the Best Picture award in the identical 12 months. He stated:
“Having these two blockbusters solidly presented on the top 10 list is something we should all be celebrating.”
Those were both great movies. Top Gun: Maverick is definitely my favorite. I would be so surprised if either one wins, but it’s cool to see that they were at least nominated.
Spielberg’s The Fabelmans was also nominated for seven awards this year including best director and best picture. As for what he;’s got planned next, he’s still figuring it out.
