I mean this with great respects to Heath Ledger as he is a hero of mine I have mixed feelings towards Heath Ledger being nominated for an Oscar, simply because I feel that Oscars are for outstanding roles in films that are serious, for example the film Philadelphia tackles a serious issue of aids and tom hanks acting was superb, and as a result of his acting tom hanks won himself a Oscar, as for the film the dark knight I feel that a comic book is not the sort of film that should be at the Oscars, even if the acting of heath ledgers performance was amazing, and it was, I just think that to put heath ledger up for nomination at the Oscars is simply putting him in the wrong competition.

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:28:47 +0000 http://www.dancewithshadows.com/movies/?p=69#comment-92 I think a posthumous Oscar For Best Actor is a fitting end to the whole Heath Ledger saga. 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.
