    Oh yeah, he deserves it, though I can see where that whole "hes only winning it cos hes dead" thing would come from. I don't agree with it, I think he did an amazing job with being The Joker :)

    Thats my opinion anyway, hehe

    ok. The say that became the excellent function the guy has ever finished is very virtually an insult to his reminiscence. The he became a great actor an sure he did a great job as Joker yet he's had a number of lots greater advantageous performances than this. The function wasnt that complicated of one. the concern became throwing himself thoroughly into it that's what he did we believed him as joker. Im effective he will win some thing for it however the main can be a golden globe if that. The Oscars are unlikely to grant a function like that a statue till its a guilt win by way of fact he died and actually I dont understand in the event that they could desire to. Ledger would be fortunate to be nominated. Giving the character that Ledger had im effective he could be somewhat pissed if it is what he gained his oscar for. the guy became a real technique actor who became on his thank you to putting even Brando to shame yet this became decrease than no circumstances the peek of his expertise purely a glimps into it. Blockbusters are entertainment thats what their created for to entertain the lots and make money.

    I think it's fair, he was in the movie, so he deserves an award. So what if he's dead. He'd be happy to know he won an award dead or alive.

    i think even if he was alive he totally deserves each and every award he's being nominated for. he played that role so amazingly. it was so much better than the joker interpretation by jack nicholson a few batman movies back.. i think he really developed the character and worked hard on it.

    he should win. thats it.

    He deserves it. He would deserve it if he was alive just as much. He is not the only person who has been nominated after their death. Peter Finch won Best Actor Oscar after his death for the film Network.

    Yes he SOOOOOOO deserves it!!!!!! Not just because he's dead but because his performance was really amazing. He really made you believe he was the Joker, and you couldn't even tell it was him during the whole movie!
