Heath Ledger R.I.P., he brought that movie to life. I really think he did a brilliant job. I say he should get the Oscar. If he actually lived and slept the Joker, which he actually did do, he deserves it.
Well, I haven't seen the movie yet, but if someone DIES because of a drug overdose, they shouldn't get an Oscar or any other big award in my honest opinion.Grodus5
Prescription drugs? Besides Oscars aren't about the actor, they're about the performances. Heath Ledger could've been a cardboard box and have gotten an oscar if the performance was good.
Yes, the fact he was able to get into character to well and masterfully play a villain makes him deserve it. The fact he died makes it more likely since the Academy loves to hand accolades to deceased stars

I think only one post-humous Oscar has been awarded in the Academy's history...

There have been more than one posthumous Oscar, but indeed only one posthumous Best Actor Oscar, and that was way back in 1976.

He should get it,he did an amazing job at it but Aaron Eckhart also did an incredible job as Harvey Dent.Viper_GTS-R
THIS! how come everyone forgets eckharts preformance which was great as well. i think there might be two supporting oscar nominees from the same movie. actually wouldnt he be a main role or something? plus he was robbed for not getting the oscar for best actor in Thank You For Smoking. that movie still is up there on my top ten list, im gonna start reading the book this week probably
His performance was good, but it wasn't great. I was slightly disappointed, what with all the (now-apparent) fanboy-ism on here and the rest of the internet. I didn't see much that put him past Jack Nicholson, to be honest. Most of the difference was determined by the film. I don't think it should be a given that he wins an Oscar.Bourbons3
I agree. Who ever played that role was gunna catch the online crowd. He is a crazy rebel that makes him cool. I also find it odd how he "accidentally" overdosed.
You can hardly tell it was heath.......he was someone else, thats why his performance was amazing because thats what acting is.....playing someone else, a different person, making it believable and he did a perfect job of that in the dark knight. HE is forever known as the Joker.:)

You know they were sleeping pills right? It's not like he died of heroin. Also, an Oscar is about performance not their personal life.

It was an accidental overdose between two different pills that dropped his blood pressure too low...one of those were sleeping pills, as stated above. It had nothing to do with him being an addict or anything like that.
