If Heath Ledger were alive...

But in all honesty, I think he would have still got the Globe, but the Oscar is going to be a tough one to grasp.

I agree with Crimm122..... for once.

I honestly think that he was deserving, and would be if he were still alive, of many awards for his portrayal of the Joker in 'The Dark Knight.' However, as much as he deserves all of the awards, that Oscar will be a tougher crowd to please. The Academy will still only view his performance as a comic book based superhero villain type of role. And those types of performances tend to be quickly shifted to the bottom of the consideration list... unfortunately.
