The PCA’s Favor Dark Knight
Last night in Hollywood, the People Choice Awards were handed out, and it is no real surprise that The Dark Knight swept the awards and won in every category they were nominated. The categories included Favorite Superhero, Favorite Movies and Favorite On Screen Match Up for Christian Bale and Heath Ledger. Bale accepted the award and dedicated it to the late actor. He died just about a year ago of a drug overdose.
On behalf of all of the cast from the movie, thank you very much to the fans. Here’s to Heath.
The Dark Knight wasn’t the only winner last night. Many others from movies, music and television also walked away winners last night including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
