And don't forget Anne Hathaway's nomination for Best Actress in "Rachel Getting Married".

The nomination makes me feel a bit hollow. I hope Heath wins, but it also makes me very sad.

When I step back and try to get all analytical, I remember how skeptical I was last year that he would be honored at the Oscars:


--- Quote ---I would be very surprised if Heath won posthumously for playing The Joker, unfortunately. Only one person won an Oscar after his death. (And it wasn't James Dean, who was nominated twice after his death.) And on top of that, there's the genre picture issue. Actors have been nominated from genre pictures, but not many have won. And from a superhero movie? The Academy would have to get past a number of different biases to give Heath the award.
--- End quote ---

MsMercury:
I think Heath definitely deserves that Oscar. His performance was just breathtaking.
