A decision to disallow The Dark Knight an Oscar nomination for best Score has been overturned

Empire Magazine Has the Article Here.

I would nominate the film for Score as well as the following:

Film Editing, Sound Effects, Sound editing, makeup, Visual effects, Supporting Actor (Ledger), adapted screenplay, director and Picture

It is a shame Bale won't be nominated (probably) because he is very strong in the film without a particularly 'showy' part, unlike The Joker.

I didn't think Bale was a standout. Ledger should be nominated, but he shouldn't win. I liked the score too, and the screenplay.

yeah ive seen it like 5 or 6 times cause we have it playing at work and yes i believe he was good. but i dont want it to turn into a Jonny Cash situation where there are plenty of worthy people nominated yet the one who died during the year gets the award. and i dont think thats fair

Meh the score was pretty generic, Slumdog millionaire had a much better score. I dont think Dark Knight should be nominated for anything other than Best supporting actor since other films are much better than Dark Knight in all the other ways like Best picture, visual effects etc.

But thats completely ridiculous. They're not giving him an award because he died. Its no sympathy plea - its because its an amazing performance. Please, watch the movie Two Hands and you will see how different Heath was in that to TDK. Do yourself a favour.
