Said President Obama on the film and Anne Hathaway's performance, “She’s spectacular. I got a chance to see Batman, and she was the best thing in it. That’s just my personal opinion.”
Ha, even the President of the United States knows to end that sentence carefully, less he spark a series of angry rebuttals from internet trolls. This quote from the POTUS came at a fundraising dinner that was hosted by Anne Hathaway among others so maybe he was speaking his mind or maybe he was just being nice. Although, he didn't say he liked the film, only that she was 'the best thing in it.' GOP constituents could have a field day dissecting that statement.
It's being reported that out of the entire TDKR cast, Hathaway may have the best chance for an Oscar nomination.
