Heath Ledger and Christian Bale’s oscar campaign

November 25, 2008 by Simon Miraudo 0 Comments

The Dark Knight Oscar Train is gaining momentum, but will it be a Titanic-sized sweep, a Dreamgirls-esque snub, or a nomination-less FAIL.

I think it’s fair to say Heath Ledger is a lock for Best Supporting Actor (unless Corbin Bleu or that guy who wears the hat in High School Musical 3 nudge him out). But does Christian Bale have a real shot at Best Actor?

If that raspy Batman voice doesn’t ruin his chances, and Brad Pitt, Mickey Rourke and Sean Penn all pull out of the race … nah, it still seems pretty unlikely. A shame really, because I cannot think of another unrewarded actor who deserves an Oscar more.
