Surely,he deserves an Oscar nomination for playing the Joker. In the trailers aired these days you can definitely see his intense role preparation for the part of the psychotic and lunatic character of the menacing Joker coming across so convincingly…and for a moment you will never believe that this performance is (was) from a 28 year old actor!!

I think Rodney is spot on there!

Also, I think a lot more people will be watching the Oscars if Heath gets a nomination, I know I will!

Anthony, you don’t get it.

Everyone is talking about his shot at this because of this role IN SPITE of all the things you said.

And in the past scifi fantasy and comic movies were better technically than they were in quality of acting. This is changing.

You are using the “history is stacked against him” movite debunked in the article you are commenting on.

If you think Ledger has chance to win an Oscar for playing The Joker, no matter how well done, I think you are nuts. The Academy really does not like to honor these sci-fi/fantasy/comic type movies. Horror films they have no idea what to do with. All these special effects and sound awards are mostly designed to honor some of these films they have no idea about. Batman is just another comic movie to them. And with a dead person in the cast, there is even a greater chance he wont win. The TV Producers hate awarding people who cant show up on the awards night.

Oscars are granted for performances in movies. Ledger performed in a movie.

Why should he no longer be considered just because of his untimely demise?

And Obiwan…. that was tasteless.

Let me tell you this: Ledger doesn’t have any Oscar hopes. He’s dead.

I hope they give it to someone who’s alive, what’s the point in winning a prize if you are dead?

We havent even hit oscar season yet. There could be 10 better supporting performances to come in the year. I feel like it’s to early to talk about it because his performance could be trumped. just think if Javier would have been nominated for best actor instead of supporting, would he have taken the statue away from DDL? i’m just saying we might get some crazy awesome performances in other movies which might make it so he doesnt even get nominated. I’d hope they wouldnt just nominate a guy because he was dead. sympathy wins are no good. wheres the glory. lets give it to the people who deserve it… but as of now, in the year so far, maybe he is the best candidate.
