I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the fact that I have caught and corrected a mistake in my piece, in case you'd like to correct "NOTE VI" above. Prior to Ledger's Oscar win, there was one more posthumous nominee: Ralph Richardson for best supporting actor for Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984). Thanks, Scott Hi,

If he were alive, nobody would even start thinking about giving the Oscar to somebody else (though there are many brilliant performances this year, it's true) - and discriminating against him because he has died seems somewhat morbid and totally unfair. I think there are very few years when the fate of an award can so clearly be determined - well, this year is one of those. Heath's Joker is simply unbeatable.

And he deserves to win. My only problem with the Academy is that they'll give him a bestu supporting actor Oscar when Heath shold win the BEST ACTOR Oscar. He makes THE DARK KNIGHT DARK.

I think he should win for this reason: Chris Nolan is a talented writer and director, but Heath made the megabucks movie a work of art, something worth remembering for more than trucks flipping and the like. Can that be said of his competition? Certainly not of Josh Brolin, for example. Even though he played a real person with absolute conviction, it was Sean Penn's movie all the way.

That's my opinion, of course, but even though I tend to disagree with just about everybody on just about everything, I believe this is one instance when most people out there would fully agree with me. It's a very early talkie that creaks everywhere, all the time. I posted a review here a while back: http://www.altfg.com/blog/film-reviews/letter-jeanne-eagels-limur/ No, THE LETTER with Jeanne Eagels is not a good film.
