Dark Knight Returns Gets PGA Nom (2008)

The Dark Knight was nominated in the Best Picture category of the Producers' Guild of America awards. The PGA's Best Picture list often matches that of the Oscars', which means the Oscar campaign has picked up even more speed. The other contenders are Slumdog Millionaire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Milk, and Frost/Nixon.

Last year, four of the five nominated by the PGA made it to the Best Picture nominations at the Academy Awards and the winner (No Country for Old Men) also took top honors. Three of those listed are up for Best Motion Picture, Drama at the Golden Globes - but The Dark Knight is not one of them. The winners will be announced just two days after the Academy Award nominations. The WGA and DGA announce their nominees later this week, as well.
