Heath Ledger nominated for Oscar
retropian:
I'm glad to see Heath nominated. I think his performance as the Joker is already attaining legendary and iconic status. His portrayal of Ennis is already legendary. Ennis is and icon. But, I'm still not going to watch the Oscars. I'm not willing to be disappointed, again. I'll find out who won the next day. If Heath wins, and I think that's pretty likely, I can watch it on youtube, and be happy for his family.
I'm glad to see Milk and Sean Penn nominated. I hope Sean gets the best actor for his portrayal of Harvey Milk. He has a pretty good chance I think. It's great to see Anne Hathaway nominated too. So all of the principles of BBM have been nominated. Heath for best actor, and now for best supporting actor. Jake G. for best supporting actor, Michelle W. for best supporting actress, Anne H. now nominated for best actress. It would be great to see some of the actors who had smaller roles in BBM get nominated in the future. I just wish the Oscars meant more to me.

Meryl, what a beautiful new pic.
Heath absolutely deserved the Oscar for Ennis, and he absolutely deserves it for the Joker.
(agreed that the Oscars have lost their status given how they snubbed Brokeback, but it doesn't change the fact that he has rightly earned the recognition...)

He should absolutely get the Oscar for his performance. He was brilliant in the role. Every picture I see of him lately brings tears to my eyes. I still find it hard to believe we've lost him . . . .
MilAn:
I'm glad he is nominated, I'm crossing my fingers for a win.

I still find it extremely hard as well. It's weird. His joker picture is everywhere, everyday I see at least 3 kids wearing a joker shirt. Everyone still talks about The Dark Knight, and it's brilliance (or money-making/record-breaking brilliance), the movie was just re-released today in hundreds of theaters (none too close to me, but I may just have to make the drive. I don't know if I can pass up the opportunity), yesterday the movie got 8 noms, every tv station keeps talking about Heath's nom and how he's the favorite to win, esp after his Golden Globe win. And on top of everything else, our boy still has a movie coming out, hopefully this year. After one whole year, there is still a Heath character I haven't seen yet. Geez, it's nearly impossible to completely believe he's not still with us. But, it does give me a small feeling of comfort.
