Those are not final. From the BAFTA site:
The first nominations have been announced and the full list will be revealed on Thursday 15 January.
Congrats to Christopher Nolan. He was just nominated by the DGA (directors guild of america).
I don't think that the Academy has been prejudiced or guilty of previously overlooking worthwhile candidates, it's just that I don't think that there have been "comic book movies" in the past that actually deserved serious Oscar consideration (outside of some of the technical categories). Nolan has given us one of the best films of the year--regardless of the genre. I can't think of any previous comic book movie that I would consider nominating for Best Picture as I would TDK. As with Return of the King, I don't think that the Oscars have finally caught up with genre movies so much as genre movies have finally caught up with the Oscars in terms of quality.
