I think one thing needs to be pointed out here:
He is Australian. Not only is he Australian, he is WESTERN Australian. Having been there, I can tell you Australians have two modes of dress: pin-striped grey charcoal suits, and "anything goes." And that means ANYTHING GOES. They are the most informal, non conformist dressers I have ever seen in my life!
LauraGigs:
Is he still 'in the middle of' the Joker role? I thought filming wrapped on that.

And did y'all notice his vest is buttoned up all askew?
Man, did he go to real efforts to look as weirdly clothed as at all possible. And of course, 't was the socks stood out to me too.
I'm of two minds. Well, actually, 3:
On the one hand, I do find it impolite to show up dressed like that. It's the black-tie conclusion and awards ceremony to the festival, is it not? And he probably knew he'd even be accepting (on behalf of Cate Blanchett if she won).
One the other hand, I totally admire his guts, too. Going out like that in public with lots of photographers about? Going to the festival's gala conclusion with lots of beautifully and tastefully dressed movie hot-shots about, dressed like that? Whatever the intended message, and to whom.... he's got guts. I'm not sure I'd have the courage to get up like that in my own house, even.
On the third hand, ::) at self , yes Penth, it *is* fun to discuss this and I bet that's at least partly why he's doing it. He's a real Joker.
(ETA: I hope you won't all kick me and yell at me for saying this, but if I'm being honest I have to admit that this thought *did* cross my mind: I really do hope he wasn't high on something while getting dressed for the ceremony. :-\ )

well, I should probably read everyone's comments before opening my big mouth, but alas... I am not patient enough...
I personally think it is fun to talk about what he is wearing - and I mean, fun, as in I enjoy seeing what he does, not as in fun to pick on him, etc... So it is fun for me to see him in funny sunglasses, just as it is um, titillating for me to see jake in a wet t shirt or swim trunks.
I was going to comment on the drug comment, but really don't have any position to, so I won't...
Oh yeah - remember the swan thing Bjork wore to some awards show... is Heath doing anything really all that different?
(Mikaela - I just thought of this stuff while reading your post, I am not responding to anything in particular that you said. :))
Mikaela:
Leslie and Dottie, yes, I get your points and I do hope you're right.
However, Venice is an important European film festival and this *is* Venice's equivalent of Oscars night. And for all Heath is an individualist out to express his nervous energy and for all he gets into the role of the moment, he did certainly toe the line and show up at the Oscars in the required tux. He knows how to when he wants to, or has to. So however much it pains me to say so, and however much I hope you are right about the *reasons* for his clothing, - I do continue to find this unneccessarily impolite. (Though also gutsy, as I've said. )
But I won't harp on anymore about that, - he's a dear and I root for him no matter what weird outfit he appears in (or out of as the case may be). And on that note - thanks for the image you posted, Adiabatic! :)

It certainly does!!
