Unbelievable. After crafting a film to be praised for a complicated, deep, and culturally relevant story, beautiful and unbeforeseen photography, tremendous performances by high caliber actors, a pounding and moving soundtrack, and arguably one of the greatest action films ever (because it was so much more than an action film), Chris Nolan and The Dark Knight were not nominated for best picture or best director. Unbelievable. Return of the King, but not The Dark Knight?
