I have the same question as Longhorn. How can you give criticism about a performance and you haven't even seen it?
I guess that would qualify you for a " " as well since you disregard Ledger's work without ever seeing it.
"Who's the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him?"

^^Uh oh. CBF won't want to go to the sideline to see the ol' ball coach after dat one.
That movie was so ing overrated.
Heath's Joker>>>>>>>>> Darth Vader
I think that TDK would have been the typical insipid Hollywood superhero movie had it not been for Ledger's performance as the Joker. He was brilliant and was the one thing that made the movie shine. Maybe he deserves the award, maybe not, but if it's awarded it will be because of his performance, not because of his death.
I guess people on the club are too stupid to understand that this thread is simply about me calling Ledger for a posthumous academy award the day after he died.
Not about my criticisms about his performance. Once again....simple concepts elude you. My criticisms are the 25 other Dark Knight threads. It's funny how as time went on, more and more people became PeeWeeesque in regards to this movie.
Almost everybody understands your point. We're just putting in our own points. Did you expect to put up a thread and not have that happen?
You also obviously haven't seen the movie. 85% of the film's budget was probably used for middle fight scene, not the ending "wins big fight" scene. And since everyone (but you and CFB) have seen the movie, no need to worry about spoilers - The Joker wins.
That's just it. The script, a very original storyline unlike any other superhero movie (Batman isn't a 'superhero' BTW), gave great material for actors like Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, and Christian Bale to become the perfect Com. Gordon, Havey Dent/Two-Face, and Batman, respectively.
So, following your 'superior intellectual" logic, every actor that dies before their last movie will be nominated for an Academy Award? You're right......I am too stupid to follow that logic.
Again, your point might hold weight if you could criticize Ledger's performance. But since you can't since you haven't seen it, it simply makes your a narcissistic hater.
But hey, great avatar!
Iron Man > TDK
No you are re ed for assuming that I put forth any kind of logic at all. It's just a prediction. Not an assumption. A prediction. A prediction I called instantly after hearing about his Olsen-Twin-Aided Death. A prediction I will dangle from my crotch and slap you across the face with when it comes to pass.So, following your 'superior intellectual" logic, every actor that dies before their last movie will be nominated for an Academy Award?

And the kids
just
LOVE IT
wha-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
I was waiting for that.
So was CBF.
Good, CBF - part of your prediction that he would win was correct. Now prove to us the other part of your prediction - that it was undeserved.
congrats Heath Ledger
I think his short yet flashing performances in "monster's ball" are more memorable, but it didn't even bring him a nomination for Oscar. and he was frustrated again in 04 when his "broke back mountain" brought him the nomination but not a win. Thank God he got the Oscar finally, though it's just for the leading role and he couldn't sense the moving moment himself.
The "deserved" is the tough one to prove, this year. I thought Supporting Actor was one of the most compe ive categories (or, at least, should have been), and I'll be the first to admit that Ledger may not have won it under different cir stances.
Was the performance deserving of a nomination? Absolutely. Was it really better than Josh Brolin, Robert Downey, Jr., and Phillip Seymour Hoffman? There... I'm not so sure. There's no question in my mind that his win was at least partly influenced by the fact it was his last chance to be recognized and that, were he still alive, it would have likely been Brolin or Downey with the award this morning. But at the same time, it's nowhere near as blatant a compensation award as something like Russel Crowe's statue for Gladiator.
I was so happy when he won. I've loved Heath in every movie I saw him in. Very talanted actor and a trajic death. Chronic anxiety is a to treat, and sometimes it's very difficult not to go for those pills. People tend to build tolerence to those pills, thts why it's so easy to O.D. I cried when he died.
Or Julia Roberts in the movie about the lady with huge knockers.
I think Ledger would have won regardless of his death. Downey, Jr., wouldn't have won for a comic performance, Hoffman already got his Oscar, Shannon was just lucky to be there. Brolin probably would have been the primary compe ion, but Ledger's previous nomination would have put him over the top. That's assuming he gets the nomination in the first place if he hadn't died, though.
Denzel washington winning for Training Day was bigger horse , the only reason he got it was cause Crowe won for Gladiator the year before. He was better in A beautiful mind than Gladiator. Also it was black people day at the oscars that year, if you were black you got an awardBut at the same time, it's nowhere near as blatant a compensation award as something like Russel Crowe's statue for Gladiator.
