The fact that it took his death for them to take it seriously is a sad commentary on how they vote. They vote for one nutjob performance last year in overwhelming numbers, but when a similarly electric nutjob performance comes along the next year, it would be ignored because it's in a superhero movie and not an Oscar-bait movie like No Country? Their hypocrisy is stunning.

where is this idea coming from that it "took his death" for them to take anything seriously? I've said this exact thing before, but have you managed to check out another timeline where in he is alive and got snubbed? If so please tell me how I can et there.

also, can we prove a bias against superhero movies? Ledger got nominated in the first movie even remotely deserving of being mentioned at the oscars in the genre. where is this "bias" coming from?

you're making superhero movies out to be victims of some imagined slight. I honestly don't understand where it's coming from.
