agreed

Being a huge Nolan and Batman Begins fan I was avidly following any news on the Dark Knight (and I was slightly disappointed with the end result, maybe because I overhyped it for myself).

I read about the awesome portrayal of the Joker Ledger was creating and I still would have been all for him winning the Oscar if he was alive.

The academy, however, usually picks crap to win and if Ledger hadnt died I doubt they would have even given him a nod. They are saps for that kind of stuff.

Honestly, I still cant get over Dances with Wolves beating Goodfellas for Best Picture in 1990. Only thing I have ever agreed with them on was The Departed.

Better? More diversified? possibly.

But none of Downy Jr.'s single performances matches that of Ledger in the Dark Knight.

I didn't think Robert did that good of a job in Tropic Thunder, so its a no brainer for Heath.

I've said it before here, and I'll say it again. From a strictly industry stand point, Heath Ledger should be honored in a completely seperate way.

Give him his own oscar, seperate from everything else for reinventing an already classic character.

The reason I have stated this is because an academy award is guaranteed work and a huge rate increase for both the talent and the people who manage their lives. Giving it to a dead man is a waste and will only hinder an already shotty and rotting Hollywood.

R.I.P Heath Ledger....the only Joker
