Ok here's my update. I finally got to see The Dark Knight. It doesn't deserve to win best picture in my view. This would be a sad year in movies if the best thing to come out of it was this. It's not a bad movie, but let's just say the product doesn't justify the hype. Nice performances by Ledger and Eckhart though. The ending really pissed me off though. I'm so over good villians having to day in the course of a single film.
I'm not entirely sure Ledger has enough screen time for a Best Actor bid, but I do know the Academy usually bends the rules to the point of breaking them to fit actors wherever the studio wants them placed. A nice example being Ethan Hawke having more screen time than Denzel in Training Day but Hawke gets a Supporting Actor nomination while Denzel gets the Best Actor nom. Rinse and repeat for Brokeback Mountain, Collateral and I'm sure plenty of others if I think hard enough.
