should health ledger be nominated for a oscar?

[txteach]

one of the best performances of ANY actor ever. He was a scary joker.

[Megospidey]

Yes. If an animated movie can be nominated for best picture, then a deceased Ledger should at least be nominated. Phenomenal performance.

[The Bat]

ABSOLUTELY!!! He totally earned it!!

[Hector]

Javier Bardem won last year for Best Supporting Actor...and he was good...no doubt.

But Heath Ledger was even better...so I'll be shocked if he doesn't win...unless like Paul said, someone else comes outta left field with something even more monumental...but to this date, I have not seen any performance that remotely approaches Ledger as the Joker, none.

[Hulk]

Will it be, I don' know, and Hollywood is so fickle, I'm not sure. Dying certainly will help his case though, if I must be blunt about it.

Should it be? Absolutely. Unless a slew of amazing movies gets released, with epic performances, by all rights he should be a shoo-in for consideration based on his acting alone.

will Heath Ledger's amazing performance as the joker be the first and maybe only nomination for an actor in superhero movie genre?
