Anyone else think he was too good, too young like dicaprio? I think if had spent 10 years or so making just good films and then made the dark knight or inception he would have got a best director nomination by now. I think now like dicaprio he will have loads of near misses before he finally gets it
shareI think if he made The Dark Knight in 2008 then again in 2009, he would have gotten it then.
After the hoopla of missing out on it in 2008, the Academy wised up and let more films in, also considering a wider range of films.

Yeah there's no doubt the dark knight would get a best picture nomination now. But I mean for him to get a best director nomination. I reckon it will take that long to come now that by the time it does everyone will be like "finally..."

Well at least I know one person isn't convinced.

Why should I be? If that change was implemented due to TDK, not only it would've affected TDK but they would've mentioned it when they explained the reasoning, as they usually do in such cases. Fanboy wishful thinking isn't enough to convince me, sorry.

As soulsk8ter225 said, Nolan would have had to remake TDK in 2009 in order to benefit from the change that was prompted in large part by the snubbing of the real TDK in 2008. There was no way that the change could have "affected TDK" because it "was implemented due to TDK." Specifically, the expansion of the allowable BP nominations to 10 was implemented because so many people were upset that TDK didn't make the cut and they didn't want future BP-quality films to be left out like that again.
Please refer to the example above. Did the Academy had a time machine in 81?
shareThe situation with "American Werewolf" was different. The Academy didn't need to create a new category for TDK. But the brouhaha over TDK's nomination snub certainly did result in changes the following year.

they made the change in response to the fanboy outcry that followedThe man who had been the chief film critic for Time for nearly 30 years in 2008 could hardly be called a "fanboy." There were plenty of critics and industry people who thought that TDK had gotten a raw deal.

Artistically, TDK is nothing at all. Dunno where you people come from, it deserves no awards. Obviously Legder did, and then there's the sound editing, why not, but it's a joke about the stupid voice I figure.
Silly entertainment, beg your pardon. Good on the eyes, low to zilch on every other aspect.
Oscars are actually a very terrible judgment of movies most of the times. Their record is apalling. I don't know why people take them so seriously they are just weird most of the times.

he doesnt win because he is all flash and little substance. to many plot holes in his movies to get nominations, let alone win an award. sometimes i forget to see who is directing before i go see one of his movies and since he usually follows the same all flash and big plot hole style, and i havent enjoyed watching the movie because of this, i can easily guess i will see his name as director in the end credits. if not for the majority of brain dead movie going population, i might never be fooled into seeing any more of his movies based on its popularity.
shareIf that's the case, it's some double standard BS though. Damien Chazelle is 32 and already got two nominations under his belt with less films.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
