If you ask me, absolutely. Before Ledgers death, the previews of him playing the joker were fantastic. I found myself asking.. myself if I would still feel the same way had he not died, and I would 100%. His death is tragic, but it would not be my personal deciding factor whether he did a great job or not. I'm extremely picky when it comes to movies, and actors.. Ledger nailed this role. Hands down. 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!

Actually, my husband is a comic artist.

Of course I watched it, I had to see what all the fuss was about, but I really didn't care for it.

simpy epic

this movie was unbelievable from start to finish. you wouldn't even notice you've sat past 2 and a half hours of it. the performances of Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart were awe-inspiring and deserve applause. this is the best movie of 2008 hands down, and its going to be up there as one of the best movies of all-time.

Wow! I just came in...

Just incredible! it's incredible how one single performance can outshadow the ones on the first series with Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVitto, Tommy Lee Jones [even Jim Carey's ]

did you see the guy using vBulletin!?!?! that was hilarious

Saw this movie today. Everything about the movie from start to finish was exceptional with so many great twists and turns. I really love what Cristopher Nolan has done to the Batman series
