Ledger did a great job. Very creepy and was by far the best performance in any comic book movie ever. Hell, I'll even say that his rendition of The Joker was the best on-screen villain since Anthony Hopkin's Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. (Which did in-fact win him an Oscar). Using THAT logic, I'd be ok about it. I just can't help but feel that he wouldn't even be considered by the academy if he hadn't tragically died a young age.

You can always just tune in for the ads

like people do with the Superbowl who aren’t interested at all in the actual game itself.

thats why it got bumped off my original list.

two weeks ago, i thought button would probably get on or fight frost/nixon for a spot.

Well kmoney Wall-E will get nominated but for best aniimation picture. There is a seperate category for that. What is wrong with the Dark Knight? That was one of best all around movies I have seen in awhile.

As for the Oscars sucking, I agree. Too many favorites.

Anything Kidman, Penn, or Russell Crowe seem to touch the academy loves to honor. What about Harrison Ford? A great actor only one ever nomination and he has been in some of the biggest films ever.

Wall*E will WIN best animated picture, I dont think anyone in their right mind is thinking otherwise.

not to call you out or anything but i really don't agree with that. I mean i don't believe Ledger will win. But i do believe that he was getting a lot of buzz even before he died. I really think him dying has nothing to do with him being considered by the academy

Wall*E DESERVES best animated. The movie was gorgeous.

Just don't agree with a best picture nom.

You right, he did. It just got amplified after his death IMO. I'm glad you said you don't think he'll win. It seems like too many people are ready to give him the Oscar without even bothering to go see anyone else's performances. I think that may be what I'm most upset about over all.

The doesn't mean it still can't get the regular best pic nom though.

[Crim122]

I dont think TDK would have grossed as much if he hadnt died.

horror definately.

just look at the past couple of years. everything is crime, drama or something close.

Forrest Gump
Annie Hall
The Apartment
It Happened One Night

Comedies that won Best Picture.

Mama Mia!!!!!!!!! Thats a stupid chick flick!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Mama Mia! is garbage!! The Dark Knight deserves to be nominated over that. So do the other crappy movies of this year, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, and Never Back Down!!! Mabye even Twilight. And I HATE Twilight. HATE it. In fact I hate it so much that once I got banned for making fun of it so much.

This is as sure as it can be for Oscar night. Just an awesome work of animation and story telling.

[thedarkangel1975]

actually Wall-E won't. Only one category.
