Heath Ledger died one year ago today.

never heard of him

He'll probably get an Oscar Nomination today too. That is pretty cool.omfg_its_dally

Even though I dont think he should win I still think he at least deserves a nomination. There is no way they wont nominate him, he was great in the dark knight. I hope the dark knight doesnt win best picture or anything though.

Agreed (tbh, TDK shouldn't even be nominated for Best Picture). I won't mind if Ledger is nominated for best supporting actor, but I don't think that he deserves to win.

I disagree, I think he should win without question. He took a highly recognizable character, made it his own, and the result was something that many people perceived the Joker character to actually be. How many times do you see a movie starring a character thats been adapted from something and it doesn't fit with your perception/understanding of the character? Hell, most movies don't even get the casting right, forget about the actor delivering a faithful interpretation. Besides, its much more difficult to act believably as an established character (iconic if you will) than to pull off a believable performance as a lawyer, doctor, criminal, or some other generic role.

When Ledger was announced as the Joker, I couldn't believe it. I just didn't see him as a worthy or appropriate fit for the role. While watching the movie I couldn't even tell it was him, the same guy from Knight's Tale and 10 Things I Hate About You. I didn't even care about Batman during the movie (despite growing up reading the comics religiously), I just wanted to see what the Joker was going to do next.

Who do you think should win best supporting actor?

Josh Brolin, for Milk

Where did I say that he should win because he died? I never said that, so why are you taking that from my post? I explained why he should win without question, it has nothing to do with him dying. I would feel the same way if he was still living. Its a shame that people such as yourself think the praise he is getting is because he died and not because of the skills he displayed in TDK.

He was better in Brokeback Mountain I thought and really should have won the Oscar for that...

Topic. Seems like it was a long time ago doesn't it? remmbermytitans

No, it really doesn't because people are still talking about it...
