I've read plenty of chatter about him getting a nominee, and personally think it would be rather well-deserved.<br/><br/>And yes, I was one of many who was rather underwhelmed by the choice of Ledger being cast as the Joker. Along with my love of Newsies I had a healthy fascination with A Knight's Tale and despite all my blathering that they might be the greatest stories put to film, I am very aware of the fact that both movies are chiefly eyecandy crap featuring pretty boys in tight pants who rise above their stations and save the day. The shining with the brilliance and all that you mentioned above seems unlikely, yes, but by god, I think he did it.

I was one of the people who whined and b***hed when they cast him for this role because I felt he was going to ruin it. I <b>hated</b> the idea of Ledger being The Joker. I watched the film and ate my words. His performance is amazing. It's a shame he had to die because with this performance he showed that he was more than a pretty face. <br/><br/>The only thing that I will say in this thread is that you should all watch the film... don't want to pay? Fine. Watch the bootleg and you'll want to go watch it at the theater anyways. <br/>It's a brilliant film with an actor who worked his ass off to the point of exhaustion to prove everyone (myself included) how wrong they were to presume he was just a mediocre pretty faced actor.<br/><br/>I do believe he deserves an Oscar for it.

The situation may not rise that often, but it is a fact that dying can gain one sympathy votes.<br/><br/>Also you can't take away the fact that a role as iconic and over the top as The Joker is a practical lock for being nominated.<br/><br/>You say I'm a troll and that I'm ignorant because I posited the idea that perhaps an actor with a better performance will miss out on an Oscar win because of Heath's death since I haven't seen the movie.<br/><br/>Are you equally trolling and ignorant because you are saying that all the other actors who were in movies that you haven't seen either and in movies that aren't even out yet were less deserving of an Oscar? No, of course you aren't trolling, but then neither am I. <br/><br/>It is the exact same thing, even worse actually. My point is that dying gets you extra votes. You are saying that he deserves the award without seeing even a small percentage of his competition.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[unzercharlie @ 7/22/2008 3:12:48 PM]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/entertainment/l/69563/1/atom0_3.rss#q25" /><id>293853</id><summary><![CDATA[And back to the topic--<br/><br/>Alleged assault could mean anything from hitting someone in the head with a hammer to yelling at them and scaring them, so let's just calm down.
