The Dark Knight won awards in all five categories it was nominated for at the 35th annual People’s Choice Awards, including favorite movie, action movie, cast and superhero (Christian Bale). Though Heath Ledger didn’t win an individual award for his work as the Joker, he and Christian Bale were also named onscreen matchup. WALL*E was named favorite family movie, while Katherine Heigl accepted the favorite comedy award for 27 Dresses. Reese Witherspoon was chosen as favorite female movie star, while Bride Wars star Kate Hudson earned an award as favorite leading lady and addressed tabloids reports that rumored she was giving up men and instead, making out with girls, saying: “No. No. No. Strictly boys for me.” Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie picked up awards as well, for favorite leading man and female action star, respectively.
Hurrah for The Dark Knight! incredible movie.
i really loved dark knight. i think everyone in that movie did an awesome job. i also really liked 27 dresses and kate hudson is one of my favourite actresses. so congrats to all. 🙂 great job !
Iron Man took home nothing?? Who are these ‘People’? 🙂
Dark Knight was a pretty awesome movie, but it’s too bad that they killed off two-face so soon. And it was also too bad that Heath Ledger died from a drug over dose on sleeping pills, he did an excellent job of playing the part of the Joker! But who will play the part for Joker on the next Batman? I was thinking that maybe Crispen Glover could play the part, yes?, no?
I loved Dark Knight too but, to me, Iron Man was totally brilliant.
On the subject of the Joker, Heath Ledger was so utterly mesmerizing (and his sudden death so utterly tragic) that the character should be laid to rest along with Heath.
wonderful to see the award for Heath on the Golden Globes, so so well deserved
