The biggest robbery since the 2004 Northern Bank Heist

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

Just thought I'd rant about how unfair it is that Chris Nolan was not nominated for a best director Oscar at the up and coming Academy Awards. Seriously, The Dark Knight is nominated for Oscars in SEVEN technical categories for Best Achievement in Visual Effects, Best Achievement in Sound Editing, Best Achievement in Sound, Best Achievement in Makeup, Best Achievement in Editing, Best Achievement in Cinematography, Best Achievement in Art Direction(this is not including Heath Ledger's nomination for best supporting actor). Who oversees all that? The director, that's who! If the Academy can acknowledge The Dark Knight is Oscar worthy in those categories then it's ridiculous Nolan wasn't nominated for his direction of the second most successful film of all time. A massive oversight.
That it is all.
Note: For those of you playing at home the 2004 Northern Bank Heist occured in Belfast, Northern Irleand and was the biggest robbery in UK history. A large, proficent group of robbers believed to be from the IRA made off with £26.5 million in pounds sterling.
