Description:

Dark Knight’s success was expected, and if you were lucky enough to see the movie you probably are still experiencing the after effects of the late Heath Ledger’s terrifying performance as the “Joker”. An Oscar nomination is inevitable for Ledger and I think it is safe (and sad) to say that he is the James Dean of this generation.

Only one star has won an Oscar from beyond the grave (Peter Finch, Network in '76) so we shall see if the statue will go to Heath early next year. I have not read one bad review of Ledger… even The New Yorker gave him a rave (and that says a lot). With all due respect, this is one hellava way to go out.

He made the batman film what it is. He should get that oscar cos he **** deserves it

Heath Ledger forever in my heart... :(

Heath Ledger did an excellent job as a Joker in the Dark Knight. He've worked really harder to make that character so realistic. I'm telling you that he does deserve to get an Oscar award for his own performance. I'll be looking forward to the Oscar next year and praying for him to be nominated. RIP: Heath Ledger! You'll always be greatly missed by all of us!

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO... HEATH LEDGER!
his joker is perfect! i loved it!
if someone deserves the oscar, then it's heath!
r.i.p. :(

Yeah Oscar for Heath Ledger he is such a **** very good actor!

I Think Heath is soo.... Talented, but poor, he past away when his career's grew up. goodbye Heath, R.I.P

Heath Ledger should of course get an oscar for playing the joker in the dark knight. Heath is so talented and it really showed in his performance. if he doesnt thats just stupid. he deserved on for '10 things i hate about you' and 'lords of dog town'. heath was amazing in every movie but extremely amazing in the dark night. noone will ever take the academy awards seriously if they dont make the right choice and give heath that oscar.

**** right he should win an oscar!! he totally deserves it!!! he is like one of my all time favorite actors R.I.P. Heath xx

he has to get it...I just now. Today I saw '10 things i hate about you', and the movie is 100 years old but I still want to watch it. I mean his movies are timeless if you've seen them you know.

I say he should. I mean he totally deserves a second chance to be nominated but win definately for this role. Like how Sir Anthony won for Hannibal. I mean if you notice, the Joker is a madman (like Hannibal) but he is very intelligent. He knows what he is doing and he seemed to be one step ahead of cops and stuff. Like how Hannibal had escaped from the FBI. Anyway, Heath totally disappeared in this role completely. I mean the voice, the body language, everything. I can't even reconize him. I should think he deserves it and he should. It would also be a good way for Matilda to DEFINATELY have something of her dad she can hold with her. She would look at the oscar and go, "dad you did it." So please, Academy, award this talented young man this Oscar he deserves. Little do they know, this is his last completed film. I also agree with Helen V and Alysa. I mean if he was alive, we'd all be signing this anyway. He really blew our minds. Heath, you are missed but you're not forgotten.

he deserves this! i don't know why, but his "Joker" reminds me of Brandon's Lee "Eric Draven"- maybe because these characters are very similiar like two sides of one coin or maybe both of them died young and these roles became some kind of fatal.. anyway, Ledger deserves to be remembered as a good man and a great actor.

he's actually and for a long time the greatest joker, (what a bad luck that in most of the distribution country the work of the doubler on his voice wasn't as good as the work of heath...) but anyway, he's own voice, in the dark knight is awesome, his performance...perfect, he deserve it.
And not only for his joker role btw...

he is a legendary actor, he deserves this!!!

Heath Ledger should get an Oscar. That is all I can say. There aren't enough words in this world to describe his outstanding performance in the role of "The Joker"

The Best!!! He are the chempion!!!!

he gave one of the finest performances in world cinema. his role has the potential to become as legendary as godfather hinmself. there could be no body at all this year who would deserve the honour more than him. JUST GIVE IT TO HIM ONLY THEN WOULD HE BE ABLE TO REST IN PEACE. GOD BLESS HIS NOBLE SOUL.

HEATH LEDGER YES DASHERY..... YES MERIT...THE OSCAR...

Para hacer justicia a HEATH LEDGER quien siempre dedico todo por presentarnos actuaciones excelente y en trasmitir con mucha emocion y sentimientos en sus protagonizaciones, a lo largo de su corta carrera en el 7mo arte y que por siempre estara presente, es logico y en respeto para EL y en su meomria tomar en cuenta todo su trabajo artistico y dar el reconocimiento a su trayectoria con el maximo premio de la academa el OSCAR por sus actuaciones, asi sera siempre recordado como lo que siempre fue un excelente intreprete, personas como HEATH LEDGER nunca mueren siempre estaran presente....

OMG out of all the "jokers" Heath has to be the best one hands down. I couldn't believe how like connected he was with the character. Also he should win an Oscar cause of his performance not cause of his death. He did an amazing job at it & deserves something in return!!

PS: RIP Heath (i miss you!)

He should live to take Oscar by himself and show us more of his skills. One of the greatest actors of this century...

I'm for Heath!!!!!! He still lives in our hearts!

Heath is incredible!! He deserves and he will get the Oscar. Anyway, he has much more than any Oscars can give--He is in our hearts, He is in our thoughts, He is in our memories, He is in the history and life of the cinema. He is alive in us. The world has lost one if its best sons. Heath, you'll be forever with us. I love You.

well, there is no doubt about it, heath deserves an oscar, may his soul rest in peace!

WE WANT OSCAR FOR HIM

heath ledger is one of the greatest actors of our time. i believe this is reason enough to give him an oscar. he deserves it!!!!! his role in the dark knight is also reason enough to give him an oscar.the joker was by far one of his best roles in any film... if he is not give an oscar, then you are all retarded.

HE SHOLUD DEFFINETLY WIN THE OSCAR!!! HES SOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING (: i love love love love love heath ledger x2345654356453

Heath Ledger was an amazing actor. This wasa his best role ever. He was fantastic. The reason i love the movie so much is because of him. He is the best joker that ever was.

Heath is/was amazing and deserves the oscar for his performance.

HE MUST WIN THE OSCAR!

Unbelievable presence on screen - he was truly outstanding in his portrayal as The Joker. Truly deserving of an Oscar, he was, without doubt, the shining star of this movie.
