It wont....
I would have liked him to win Best Original Screenplay.
My mind will be blown if a super hero movie ever wins a Best Director or Best Picture Oscar.

I feel sorry for Christopher Nolan and The Dark Knight Rises with their current position. There's a chance that the crazies that put him on the pedestal he's on now could conceivably lay him out on a slab.
Nolan seems like a very humble guy, I'm sure he's not too keen on the "C-Nolan is my god" crap, he might even be disgusted by it.
He's a filmmaker, he makes movies and obviously enjoys what he does. He's made some pretty damn good ones. Those things are awards themselves. Just because he doesn't have a little golden man statue doesn't mean crap. I'm pretty sure that Kubrick (whom Nolan has sometimes been compared to) NEVER won an Oscar. Nominations, yes, but never wins. Alfred Hitchcock is considered to be one of the best and most influential directors of all time and he didn't win a damn thing.
In the end, does it really matter? No. But fan boys warp it to make it seem like it does. The craziness in the superherohype TDKR threads are mind boggling. It's almost as if they feel that Christian Bale's oscar win for The Fighter corresponds to them and The Dark Knight, ("WE have an oscar winning Bruce Wayne here").
There's no doubt in my mind that Nolan and Co. will make a Batman film that I'll enjoy, even if it's quality is less than that of Begins and The Dark Knight. 1, it's Batman on screen once again and 2, this interpretation is gold.
If anything is to ruin the film, it'll be fans.
As far as Inception goes, I feel it won all the necessary awards it was nominated for. I may not like the film, but months back I posted how it deserved an oscar for it's cinematography, and it did. The technical and effects aspect of it was mind blowing to me.

All correct...but he still got snubbed. So did Kubrick, and Hitchcock.
It's not going to change anything, and he's still one of the best in the biz.

Snubbed- to rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully.
His film won 4 awards and it has been acknowledged with four other important nominations (score, art direction, screenplay and best film), not forgotten. I don't see how he was "snubbed".
No best director nomination? Oh well. Now a days, people seem to care about the nominations when really, it's all about winning the gold. Rest assured if he was atleast nominated for best director but didn't win, people would still be pissed.
That's the nature of the oscars. If we were to see things behind the scenes, I'm sure there's some nasty politics and rivalries involved.

Hey Maglor, I remember you being the most vocal in here about your theories on this movie. I know it's F'n overdue and I just now saw the movie (lol) but drop your views in here so I don't have to dig around for them.
I believe the ending is a dream. And if I remember correctly you believe the opposite. So I'd like to see your thoughts on it and I'll counter with my own.
Could be interesting.

I think everyone woke up butt Cobb. He's still in the van and going to drown in a minute or two (which would lead to a coma in the real world most likely), but since he's still in limbo that minute or two or coma even is more like 20 years to spend with his children.

ending is not a dream, the kids are older and wearing slightly different (faded) clothes and he's not wearing his wedding ring. He knew he wasn't dreaming which is why he didn't wait around.

Or Ellen Page, the architecht, simply changed their looks to trick him and give him happiness. She was the only one who knew Cobb's secrets. And her comment to Arthur somewhat supports this theory.
Its not a definative thing.

Sure thing. But rather than retype all that, I'll dig around myself and find the posts later today.

You could probably go back and forth about it all day and never be able to definitively say it was or wasn't a dream. I think the point was that he was happy so it didn't matter.
