Barack Obama ’s election as America ’s 44th President was a milepost in many , many direction – but did it really help The Dark Knight get closer to an Oscar win for Best Picture ? We ’re not convinced , but that ’s what Entertainment Weekly is arrogate , in one of the more unexpected examples of fallout from Tuesday ’s election . In a post on the cartridge ’s “ Oscar Watch ” web log call “ How Obama help Batman , ” EW writer Dave Karger frame forward the following theory :
I thought the episode involving the two ferries ( in which a grouping of commuters and a mathematical group of convicts have the power to be adrift up each others ’ boats but do n’t ) was a bit too reality - show - ish for my taste . But I sleep together most viewers hump it . Either way , that part of the film address to the innate good of human doings . And let ’s call back that Oscar ballots are due next January 12 , just a week before Barack Obama is introduce . It ’s safe to say most Hollywood type will also see that event as an exercise of inborn human good . All of this only aid The Dark Knight ’s chances , do n’t you mean ?
In a word … No . lamentable , Dave , but I have the strangest feeling that , when Academy fellow member are deliberate whether The Dark Knight deserve an Oscar nod or not , they wo n’t be thinking “ Well , now that Obama is test to fetch Bob Hope to this country , that reminds me of that part where the two shipload of citizenry fail to blow themselves up . ” Or maybe that ’s just me .
