"Poll question: Does Heath Ledger deserve an Oscar?"


  

          

I think he does, and I think, even if he hadn't died, people would still believe his performance is Oscar-worthy.

Every time I saw Joker, I didn't see Heath. When I saw Morgan Freeman, I saw Morgan Freeman playing Luscious Fox. Heath made me forget he was Heath, he was just the Joker. He was captivating in every scene he was in, and, if you have ever read any of the comics, you know he nailed it. He was the perfect Joker. Flawless.

Consider the type of performances that are nominated every year. There's no reason to think that Heath's ain't seein' them. A nomination and/or win would be much deserved. It's a shame, though, that a lot of people will point to his death as the reason for his nomination, if he does get one.

Poll result (53 votes)
Yes, he deserves a nomination/award (45 votes)Vote
No (8 votes)Vote

def a nomination, but not an award should be an option

If he were alive PTP would have about 40 less TDK posts

Nope. Not even close. Displayed no range whatsoever.
Jul 24th 2008

But the Supporting Actor category doesn't really necessitate "range."
Jul 24th 2008

Yup..."supporting" =/= range...at least recently.
