Heath Ledger, 2009 Oscar Best Actor for Batman?
March 11, 2008
Ledger was nominated for the lead-actor Oscar for “Brokeback Mountain” in 2005 but lost to Philip Seymour Hoffman (”Capote”). He might be considered a sentimental fave if he’s nominated next in either lead or supporting for “Dark Knight,” but Hollywooders are notoriously hard-hearted.

Got something to say?
Why should he get a posthumous Oscar? His acting in the TDK was alright, nothing to write home about. Besides, it wouldn’t be fair to all the other actors who actually deserve them to give it to an actor merely because people pity that he’s no longer with us.
So many actors have won oscars for roles where they have barely had to act, in the dark knight ledger has to depict a truely mad character and does so outstandingly. The joker stole the show!
he deserves the oscar, not just saying that cuz hes dead, i never cared about his death til i saw this performance, he deserves it
What is that Christopher guy talking about “alright”, it was the best performance I have ever seen. Does he think Heath was like a mass murdering clown in real life. Heath was shy, nervous, kind, genuine etc but the character was the complete opposite, it takes a true actor to do something like that (Johnny Depp is the same, and he has never one an oscar). Lets face it, Jack was being himself in the original Batman but this modern character was so different to Heath! If he does win best actor, it’s not out of pity, it’s because it was the best performance ever! This is also the only chance for the Oscars to not lose it’s show, they have become so boring and no one is watching them, I wonder why! But with a breakthrough of something like a comic character winning an Oscar, popularity will start to rise for the show! Along with everybody on the edge of their seats waiting for Heaths name to be read out as the winner!
