Many feel he was cheated and should have won for Brokeback Mountain. His performance was heart rendering and he drew comparisons to "a young Brando" from the critics. Many thought that was his shining moment but then he surprised us all with his hair-raising take on The Joker as a full fledged psyschopath. Heath Ledger manages to steal The Dark Knight in true Joker fashion and for this reason alone he desrves The Academy Award For Best Actor. It would only be right to give Ledger his due for giving us a remarkable performance and blowing an old master like Jack Nicholson right out of the water! Recently,I have lost interest in The Oscars. This would most certainly rekindle my interest and Mr. Ledger could join Peter Finch in making cinematic history as the only two actors to win posthumously for trheir bodies of work.
