Quick update from the folks at DarkCampaign.com. Apparently their efforts in pestering (okay, maybe pestering is a harsh word) industry folks in order to get The Dark Knight seriously considered as a Best Picture contender is starting to pay off.
According to Rayne over at the site, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences sent him the following message:
“Due to the vast amounts of emails, and requests for consideration, You have succeeded in catching our attention. Academy Members will give respectable thought to this years movies. Films such as “The Dark Knight” will be given equal consideration along with other competing films. We applaud the hearts of those with so much dedication, and love for a film of this caliber. Thank you for your feedback, and good luck.”
Of course, it’s possible that the AMPAS heads are just saying that because they got sick of their mailbox being flooded by Joker cards, but let’s take any win we can get.
