You do have a point here. I agree with everything you said, except maybe for the first sentence. I also think his performance as the Joker was oscar-worthy, so logically they should give it to him. It's not that I wouldn't root for him (you betcha I would!).
But my feeling still says too late
I agree with it being too late, for me anyway.There is no doubt his performance in TDK was amazing and Oscar worthy in its own right.
I have read so much about Heath wanting the recognition of his peers.It was one of the things that kept him choosing such diverse and undoubtedly difficult roles.It would have been so good for him to be awarded in his lifetime.
The money and fame were not things that interested him. He wanted recognition, but only for his acting.
My heart aches when I realise he never really got that in his lifetime.
, it would be nice for Matilda to have and realise just how amazing her dady was.
