That would make it SO worth it!! :laugh:
Didn't Al Pacino get nominated for his role in Dick Tracy? That's sort of a precedent isn't it?

The Batman fans have mentioned Johnny Depp in POTC and Anthony Hopkins in Silence of Lamb, I have no idea if they were relevant or not, but they do think there's the possibility that Heath might be nominated.

--- Quote from: Mikaela ---ETA: Oh, and another thing. I really enjoy how most of the comments are delighted with the Joker and so excited - but there are too many who take the opportunity to revile the casting of Maggie Gyllenhaal and I really resent that. It ruins my squee that people are so nasty about Maggie, who is a wonderful actress that I greatly admire. Kiss to Maggie!

That sucks! I hadn't seen that.
She probably won't get much time in any of the previews. But once the film's out, I bet you a million bucks that her performance silences the early wanker critics too. She's amazing. (Check her out in "Happy Endings". She can do sexually-confident siren like nobody.)

But yeah, I can see Heath getting a supporting actor nod!
Joker is such a showier part than Batman that it's relatively easy to "steal the film" in such a role. (Not to take anything away from Christian Bale, who is also a great actor.) The same was said for Nicholson and Pfeiffer in their villian parts — that they stole the picture from Michael Keaton, who (no fault of his own) was stuck in the straight-man good-guy role.
And it's also pretty common for the Academy to reward passed-over actors with an award for the next thing they do. Denzel Washington comes to mind...
