Elérkeztünk az "egy évvel később" időponthoz, vagyis ahhoz, mikor kihirdetik a legnagyobb amerikai filmes díj jelöltjeit. Pontosan egy hónap múlva pedig az is kiderül, A sötét lovag 8 nominációjából mennyit sikerül elnyerni. De reméljük, a legfontosabb: mellékszereplői kategóriában elvisszük az aranyszobrocskát, mert ez szinte már szentírás. Min tahogy az is, hogy a február 22-i újrabemutatásával a film ismét megdöngeti a box office rekordokat.
