TDKR Oscar Campaign Begins

Warner Bros has started officially campaigning some its films for the coming Academy Awards and among them of course is The Dark Knight Rises.  There has definitely been talk of Rises being in the running even before its release, from fans to critics almost everyone has share their thoughts about the film.  Me personally of course I would love to see Rises win but the competition is looking pretty heavy and if the ending to the trilogy stands any chance its slim, especially in categories like Best Director and Picture.  What do you guys think?  Could TDKR pull a LOTR 3 an take it home for the trilogy as a whole or will it fall to unworthy  Oscar bait?  Check out the source link below for more info and pictures for each category.
