He overdosed on Prescribed Drugs. Second,no evidence of heroin use was found at the death scene. So before you slam a dead guy who cannot defend himself you better check your resourses pal! Shame on you for bringing pain to Ledger's familiy and fans who loved him! Wow Tnnuke you really are a retard! First off,get your facts straight asswipe! Heath Ledger was NOT a drug addict.

To me it is like letting the pro-athletes, juiced on steroids, into the Hall of Fame. It’s just not fair and sends a very bad message to our children. I may be wrong though. Hollywood is full of Vampires and hey, look how much money that movie is making! Why would The Academy want to set the example of rewarding a drug addict by giving him an Oscar posthumously?

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 06:17:39 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=12602#comment-84445 THE DARK KNIGHT is a phenomenon. It has toppled STAR WARS and is now ranked #2 on the top grossing movies of all-time. It is on its way to grossing 500 million dollars in the U.S. alone! And it features the controversial swan song of Heath Ledger, former heartthrob who killed that teen image by playing a gay cowboy in the risque Brokeback Mountain and a psychotic Joker in The Dark Knight. These were a far cry from the GOD awful KNIGHTS TALE! I saw Dark Knight with my daughter. I wanted to see if this Hollywood "hunk" could hold his own against an old master like Jack Nicholson. Jesus! Ledger hit it out of the ballpark! He stole the fucking movie! And he made Nicholson's Joker come off as a juvenille ass-clown! I had tears in my eyes as the movie ended because this was the last we would see of Ledger. I then saw Dark Knight a second time because the film is complex and you do miss things the first time around. It was a matinee showing. The kids got scared when Ledger popped out as The Joker and the grownups laughed at everything he said or did. It truly is a masterful performance and yes Heath Ledger should win The Academy Award For Best Actor because he proved his mettle as a "serious actor" having come a long way from playing Mel Gibson's son in The Patriot. RIP Mr. Ledger. GOD bless you and keep you and thank you for giving us the true Joker. THE DARK KNIGHT is a phenomenon.

Watching this youngs man talent grown is abseloutely superb right up until Brokeback Mountain" and I am not saying that because he is no longer with us--it would not change my opinion about his acting talents that grew to perfection and could have above and beyond in my opinion if he were still alive. He should have won an award for Brokeback Mountain and even though he did not he was destined to at some point and I think any Hollywood Producer or Director knows that but many will not admit it maybe....sadly I do not know why. I am going to see Dark Knight this week and i will make my opinion then not because Heath is dead now sadly but I will because if I think he does a great job that just leaves me with my jaw dropped then I will say YES. It makes me sick to think that they will not honor a dead actor IF he is Oscar worthy......why not for gods sake...........just because they did not do it in the past does not mean this can be done now and going forward into the future. IF Heath Ledger or any actor is worthy of a nomination dead or alive then award it them. It's not as if we have actors dying every month or 6 months or every year that could be Oscar worthy and IF he is worthy of it then award to his memory. He workded hard enough for it like every other actor has done so in all the movies that will be up for nomination so I just do not understand the big deal in not awarding "anyone" who deserves an Oscar but had the unfortunate tradgey of thier life cut short. Why does everything have to be analysed and chewed up and spat out. IT an Oscar for gods sake for outstanding work. Let credit be due where it is due IF Heath is nominated and does win. Who is it going to hurt.......NO-ONE. There are far bigger things to make a big deal about in this world and for HOllYWOOD to spend wasteful time whether they should or whether they should not is just sad and pathetic. Take out your old strict hardened rules because this young man is dead and it has never been done and IF you Hollywood people in your heart think he deserves it ..please award it to him --I say this if it were any actor not just Heath Ledger. I am sure it would be a different story if they were related to him in any way or if one of their own was in Heaths sad and tragic loss. TRust me someone in Hollywood would find a way to make it happen. Someone in Hollywood please stand up for what is RIGHT and not for "oh should we do this --what will happen if...blah blah blah"......Just my opinion. I look forward to the movie and I hope he is spectacular in this role that he made different which seems to have taken a more deeper and challenging approach. (no disrespect to Jack Nicolson at all--love him too) but come on Hollywood wake up and give repect to those who made you millions............and millions. Being dead does not make it right to say NO.----Do America proud and the world.!!!!!!!!!!!!lexie I have admired Heath Ledgers acting for quite some time from “Candy” to “10 things I hate about you” and so forth, you fans know all his movies.

Possibly being mentally affected by the role. 8O

You bet he deserves that Oscar.

Scrawny Heath Ledger would be an accurate portrayal of The Joker. In the comics, the Joker is tall and lanky. In fact, many fanboys were wanting Crispin Glover in the role. However, I think Ledger will do an outstanding job, as Jack Nicholson did, even though Jack Nicholson bodywise is nowhere near the comic book Joker. To the writer of the article…

You can't just walk up to the counter and order a helping of "it". The "it" factor is something innate that you have. Most actors/singers/directors of Bale or Ledgers standing have "it", otherwise they wouldn't be where they are now. However, some like Winehouse, exploit it and do things that get them press etc etc. Both Bale and Ledger, have stayed out of the spotlight in their private lives. The only reason people think Heath has more "it" than Bale is because he had a tragic young death. Nothing can make you larger than life like that, think about James Dean. Hot guy, 3 movies, tragic car accident and he's a legend. If he was doddering around today at the folks home, no one would give a sh*t about his "it". The “it” factor is not something you get.

Heath is a great actor and Im sure his performance in The Dark Knight will be awesome, but that doesnt mean Christian Bale by any means is less of an actor. Anyone that has seen American Pyscho, The Machinist, or any of the other movies mentioned above could not possibly say that this man does not have the "It" factor. You dont find his commitment and versitility in many actors. Plus he seems like a genuinely nice guy, who stays out of trouble, and he sure isnt bad to look at! ;) Oh, and Newsies will forever remain one of my all time fav movies! "Did you hear that fellas? I asked Jack how he slept, and he said 'On me back Moose!'" I agree with Kolby and co.
