It's no joke.
The decade's biggest blockbuster, " The Dark Knight," could become the first superhero movie to be nominated for an Oscar for best film when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announces the nominations for the 81st Annual Academy Awards early Thursday morning.The critically acclaimed Batman adventure has been developing a lot of momentum lately especially with its nominations for the Producers Guild of America top prize, the Directors Guild of America Award, the Writers Guild of America Award and several crafts honors.
At least one "Knight" nomination is all but certain -- best supporting actor for the late Heath Ledger, who died a year ago today of an overdose of prescription pills.
This year's critics' darling, the indie hit " Slumdog Millionaire," is also expected to perform well in the nominations, especially since it swept the Golden Globe Awards less than two weeks ago.
" Frost/Nixon," "Milk" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" are also top contenders for major awards.
