With Dark Knight due on home video next Tuesday, Oscar buzz is once again heating up for the film and its creators.

Not surprisingly, some of that tub-thumping is coming from the film's stars.

Speaking at a cocktail party last night for the filmmakers and critics, star Christian Bale said, "Far be it for me to try and predict...what people are going to vote for.

I feel like in this day and age, with terrorism and with the cancers of the city and people trying to find a voice within their own city, this is an important film."
