An oscar for Heath Ledger !!

[The Dark Knight]

I think that he deserves a nomination if anything. It'd be dubious if he didn't. I'd have him win it, but that is another matter.

We know you would!

I agree with ya 100% Sandman and thecoloursblend!!

Ah, very well. Ledger's Joker wisely shook up the system and remained true to the character.

Hummm But as much as i hate to say it to say that his Joker is popular *NOT* because of his death would be a lie. I know Nolanites go extremely overboard somtimes with there nothing is better then Nolan's films attitude but im sure even with there extreme tendency's to over hype the movie his Joker would not have been so popular had he lived.

I have heard heaps of nolan fans say this and i know he is meant to be based of the 40's Joker but i just don't see it. I see a completely freash new take on The Joker but nothing of the orignal.

[The Dark Knight]

The performance is the performance. It would have received the same ammount of praise. His death has only elevated it to legendary status.

You don't see ANY of the original character there? I'm very certain this has been debated in another thread.

It was never really resolved either, only dropped by one of the participants.

It can be resumed and thrashed out over there if it has to be discussed.

[thecolorsblend]

I'm quite sure one of the participants doesn't care either way.

Bringing this back on topic somewhat, I saw the movie again yesterday and while I still think highly of it, I maintain that Ledger's performance (while exceptional) doesn't merit an Oscar nomination.

Yes, please do. If one of the Joker's deserves an Oscar for their portrayal, it is certainly Ledger over Nicholson in my view.
