The African-American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) has named The Dark Knight as the Best Picture Of 2008. 

Director Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. Pictures received the most votes by the organization, which is comprised of African-American media professionals from across the nation.

The Dark Knight was also recognized with Best Supporting Actor honors for Heath Ledger. 

Frank Langella was selected as Best Actor 2008 for Frost/Nixon and Angelina Jolie earned recognition as Best Actress 2008 for The Changeling. 

"Although our organization gives specific consideration to work by artists of African descent, the performances of Mr. Langella and Ms. Jolie are undeniably transcendent and deserving of our recognition," said AAFCA outgoing President Gil Robertson.

Other films in the AAFCA's Top Ten are: The Secret Life Of Bees, Slumdog Millionaire, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and Miracle At St. Anna. 

"From independent to commercial films, our selections for 2008 represents a diversity of themes and cultures that are intriguing and worth exploring," stated the new AAFCA President Wilson Morales.
