If Heath get a posthumous Oscar, would that redeem the Academy?

Too little too late. I will never watch the Oscars again having realised that you can vote on a film you haven't even watched. Can they predict this weeks lottery numbers as well ??
Heath and BBM should have received the rewards they deserved at the time.From what I am reading TDK in itself is not an amazing film, it is Heath who is jaw droppingly good.
Both BBM and Heath were good.

that is a good point, wasn't it Tony Curtis who boasted that he did not watch BM before his vote? I was disappointed in him for saying that, Curtis is very good in "The Sweet Smell of Success", but I can't quite look at him the same way now.

No. Too late.
Heath should have gotten it for Ennis and BBM should have gotten the Best Picture award period.

These are my exact sentiments, surely.
I think it would not redeem the Academy, on the contrary it would solidify my opinion of them.
Not rewarding Heath's beautiful Ennis, a veritable acting miracle, a whole human life presented over two hours - and then rewarding this?!? I shudder at the very thought. But money talks, so one never knows.
