I don't think I've ever seen someone get into character as much as he did with this.

It makes Nicholsons Joker look like something out of an SNL skit now. Seriously.

Kinda looks like you missed the rest of my quote...

Now, a question: would Ledger's performance still be considered oscar-worthy if he wasn't dead? I really believe his death has a lot, if not everything, to do with it.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not discounting his skill or talent, but seriously, how many times has a Batman movie been considered, much less nominated, for the Oscars? The only other mention I could find was a nomination for Best Cinematography for Batman Begins.

I'm not the only one questioning it, read here.

No doubt, Ledger's performance was nothing short of spectacular, I wasn't questioning that, but there weren't whispers of an Oscar before his death. I was also pointing out how good The Academy is at snubbing movies and actors' performances like these. I mean, come on, it's about a comic book!
