Yeah, he definitely deserves it. Only 1 acting Oscar has ever been posthumously awarded, though, that to Peter Finch in 1976 for Network. Let's hope Hollywood comes to its senses. It would really be a disgrace not to give him Best Supporting Actor.

I think Heath's only really competition at this point is Josh Brolin. And rightfully so. Those were the two best supporting performances of the year by a long shot. Still, I'm pulling for Ledger.

if RDJ gets nominated for an oscar I will laugh harder than I did in all of Tropic Thunder itself.

Nah, Film Actors Guild is fictional, Screen Actors Guild is real. FAG was created as a satire on SAG in some movie by the creators of South Park I think.
