Description:

CONGRATULATIONS HEATH! WISH YOU WERE HERE TO ENJOY THE ACCOLADES!  THANKS EVERYONE!

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.

I'm sure that Heath Ledge will win The Oscar, that I have not the slightest doubt

Definitly, Heath most win the Oscar. He is super as the jocker. Extraordinary performance. 100% for him.

Heath was going to be one of the top stars in the next decade! He should be recognized for that in his penultimate performance

I think he was on his way, too.

Heath has equalled, if not overtaken, Jack as one of the most evil character portrayed with due justice, making it the most memorable yet terrifying anti-hero.
Two-Thumbs up for the brilliance and hard work ! ()()

He is the most best jocker and he was an great actor!
He most win the oscar.

I was reminded of Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs. The sheer intensity can make a person shiver. Stunning performance. Stunning film.

I Think Not Only One Oscar I Suggest To Give Two Oscar To Him.He Is Great Actor.

he MUST win the oscar!! he made an amazing part, and put his soul into it(he didn't interact with people for a month just to figure out how it's being the joker)... he deserves it, and not because he is dead, just because he deserves it.

The best performance this year he most win the Oscar

sign! i went to the same school, walked the same hallways, (well outdoor pathwaths as it were at our school) but definetley sign sign sign

Probably the 2nd best Joker to ever grace the silverscreen. Good stuff.

Sure He is an amazing actor!
He must get the Oscar!

I was a huge fan of Heath and was heart broken when I heard of his death. When I saw The Dark Knight I was in shock for days at how amazing his acting was. His talent was taken from the world to soon.

WHY SO SERIOUS PEOPLE?huauhahua!Im sure that Oscar goes to the Great Heath Ledger!He deserves everything!...Im little sad because Heath has gone but i think that the Oscar could help everybody that admire this buddy.R.I.P Ledger and the Oscar is yours!

See ya!

ELE É O MELHOR QUE JÁ VIIIIIIII,É PARA SER DELE,FOU O MELHOR CORINGA QUE JÁ VI

It must goes to Heath!
His performance was perfect.. Wonderful..

It's rare that you can say "I've never seen that done before," but I've been saying that since I first saw his performance in this movie. He was wonderful, and deserves every acting award this year that there is.

I believe that Heath Ledger deserved this 100%. He suffered when he made this movie, and it was all for his amazing performance. He gave everything he had to this movie, and he definately is the best actor I've ever seen.

Heath deffinately deserves the Oscar

I love Heath Ledger...
Ledger's forever...

You have got to be kidding. Some example this poor man would make for my grandkids.

you have to be kidding me! Heath Ledger was one of the most outstanding actors i have ever seen and im not just saying that because he is gone he was truley amazing! he's final proformance was defenitly one of his best (i dare say) and if you cant see that then your an idiot

Death or no death Ledger would have been elevated to god status in movie fandom and his Joker would forever walk on water.
As far as Jack Nicholson as Joker arguement goes...different director,different film tone. An Oscar winning actor giving a great performance BUT was it the best supporting performance that year or worthy of Oscar consideration? NO. Why? Because although I love the 1989 film also- I spend alot of the movie wanting more Batman because after a couple of scenes Nicholson's Joker becomes predictable(not bad but not surprising).
Heath Ledger created such a diverse out of the box Joker that as an audience member you actually start to be afraid of him and you can't figure out what he is going to do next. Ledger BECAME the Joker, Nicholson played the Joker and you can feel the difference. Jack was good but Heath was legendary and we would have said it even if he were here today. Fans would have been begging for him to be the Joker again. Heath pushed that movie to legendary status and all that money. People were seeing it 2 and 3 times and people who normally wouldn't go see a Batman movie were waiting in line to see what all the buzz was about. I live in NYC and that movie was selling out 7pm and 8pm shows on a monday! All people could talk about was Heath as Joker...he was so amazing we all forgave the very bad throaty Bat voice,we all sat for the extra 22 minutes even though the movie could have ended right around when Joker escaped and set up a 3rd film,we even forgave the unnecessary killing of Two Face.
Every actor in that film gave their best performance(Bale as Batman's voice notwithstanding) and still Heath Ledger outshined them all: Morgan Freeman,Michael Caine,Christian Bale,Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart. And they all would whole heartedly admit Heath Ledger stepped up and made history and unfortunately for us 'fanboys': one movie is all we get. Fortunately for us: that one movie is legendary.
If Heath Ledger doesn't deserve or get an Oscar for his performance then I will be confused as to what BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR actually entails. Last year Javier Bardem won it for 'No Country' and Alan Arkin won the year before for 'Little Miss Sunshine'...if Heath's performance doesn't stack up against those two then the Academy should be ashamed of itself.

Thank you for your reasonable explanation (unlike all these He's great! I like him! though they are also not that bad if it goes about heath ledger's acting)-- I totally agree.

HE'S THE MAN!

GIVE IT TO HIM! HE DESERVES IT!

he was one of the most beautiful actor oh our generation. he touched us! He deserve it.

hell yeah definatly

this was one of his best!even though he is no longer alive his career will always be remembered.this is going to be the role everyone will be talking about for years to come.he deserves it for his performance not just for the fact that it was his last film.GIVE HEATH THE OSCAR!!
