Heath Ledger Doesn't deserve oscar

I stand by this. He played the joker for Christ's sake. He wasn't that good, and the only reason he's getting nominated is because hes dead. If he wins, i am never watching the oscars again.

Who watches the Oscars anyway?

Also, Heath Ledger fucking rocks as the Joker because he pulled of his insane side perfectly!

What're they gonna do with it? Dig up the corpse and put it in his hands? No one wants a zombie clown/gay cowboy running loose upon this world. I'm getting my machete and pistol ready.

Because ripping on someone who got an Oscar and is now dead is so the rage these days.

BAAAAWWW SOMEONE I DONT LIKE IS GETTING AN OVERRATED GLITZY POINTLESS AWARD BAAAWWWW

So what if his death brought publicity to him and the film? and if you think its unjustified for him to get an oscar why is that a reason not to watch the oscars again?

Because they passed up everything about the movie EXCEPT him.

So? It's not the role, it's how you play it.

He wasn't that good,

Opinion.

and the only reason he's getting nominated is because hes dead.

Well, it would probably be a lifetime achivement type award too. But it's not the only reason; actors die all the time, but there have been very few posthumous Oscars in history. Maybe, just maybe people really think he acted the role well.

If he wins, i am never watching the oscars again.

Boo fucking hoo.

He made that movie.

He made the role.

He acted INCREDIBLY well.

I mean, look at his other roles, and then look at that.

Contrast does play a part, but it would have no foundation without the base fact that he DID do an incredibly good job.

You're just mad.

Well, personally, I'm not that impressed by Christian Bale's performance, the new Batman movies are more about the auxiliary characters, and the enviroment than who is playing Batman.

yeah, theres less character development on batmans side and more on who he's fighting and whats goin on in their environment, like in begins where all the people are going crazy in the city...
fuck, sry 4 rambling, but the point is, christian bale sucks as Batman, but the directing and other characters make up for it.

Oh look guys, an idiot!

Heath Ledger deserved the Oscar. He didn't win because he's dead, he won it for playing the Joker role so damn great.

Because it was pretty weak. Besides, a posthumous award is mostly in name only.

I think Heath played the Joker fantastically well, he really captured the insanity and genius that is the Joker. He fully deserves to be rewarded for that performance regardless of his death.

What annoys me is when people lash out at popular subjects in order to look either rebellious or opinionated when deep down the issue has no direct effect on their personal life thus rendering the outburst pointless.

Crispin Glover would have done better I think, still, it was a great performance. Entertaining.

The character killed the actor. ]=

Also, he'll follow Tupac's route, and there will be a "rerelease" of a movie he did when he was younger, that had been untill now, lost.

I wouldn't get the impression that someone called TheSouthernTower would be too down with Hollywood in the first place. Much less understand it.

He did an average performance, and he died right after, if he didn't die it wouldn't have mattered. People say it's the best movie they've ever seen, it's not.

i agree, he doesn't. as much as i like the guy, giving an award is an illusion of being noble. if anything he'd probably roll in his grave if he wins that award.
