Heath Ledger Wins Best Supporting Actor Oscar for TDK Joker!Heath Ledger has take home the Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture Oscar posthumously, much to the joy of Batman fans everywhere. I think it goes without saying that Heath was an amazing talent and that we all are saddened by his passing. it’s a great victory for Ledger and for Batman fans worldwide that this honor was given for the role of Joker in the Dark Knight. So often genre films are excluded from the Oscars, but tonight Bat-Fan history was made.
Thank you Heath!

Was there any doubt? We all knew Heath would win. We can now say it's official. It's sad that he's left us, but we can always cherish the work Heath has done. Congratulations to his family, especially his daughter.

Yes! I watched this last night and I jumped out of my seat when Heath won! I am so happy, he totally deserved it! Go Heath, go Heath! But I was also happy when we won for best sound! But totally disappointed in all other categories! We didn't win! Stupin Curious Case of Benjamen Button and Slumdog Millionaire!TDK was way better! It was just the genre... But we got the one we wanted though! Good job Heath. You're legacy will last forever!

I am extremely happy! Ledger deserved it! I wish the Dark Knight would have gotten more awards then what it did.
Seriously, how can a movie like The Curious Case of Benjamen Button win so many awards! The effects were good, but there not Oscar good!
Don't even get me stated on make-up! Hellboy 2 deserved that award! Because the detail in the make-up was so realistic, plus there was alot of it!
Sorry, I go off topic

Sorry, I go off topic I know, I mean even though I'm a Batman fan, and I hate Hellboy, it should have won for makeup! And if not Hellboy, then The Dark Knight cause of the Joker. I mean How can The Curious Case of Benjamin Button win in that category? I'm tellin you, I hate prejudice because of the genre it's in!!!!

I appreciate that 'Batman' has [finally] found its place at the Oscars, but I just can't see eye-to-eye on the choice. There was too many "other" reasons why Heath may have been picked that don't relate to his perfomance. I would've picked Two-Face myself, but if it was up to me, Jack Nicholson would've got that Oscar.

I knew he'd win. And hell, he definitely deserves it! He was a beautiful masterpeice in TDK. And to the people who think he won just because he died (at least 45% of the mainstream) you have no idea what an oscar means.

He didn't win just because he died, but he didn't win because of his performance, either...

Heath deserved this and all the other awards he's gotten. He totally submersed himself into the role and gave a brilliant performance as the Joker. When I saw him on screen, I didn't see Heath playing the Joker, I only saw the Joker. RIP Heath! You are missed by so many!

Looking back at it now that the Oscars are over I can say it is very upsetting that The Dark Knight was not nominated for Best Picture.
Slum Dog Millionaire was not Best Picture material. The Dark Knight was the higest grossing film of the year; praised by critics and was topped off by Heath Ledger's role as The Joker.
I'm so glad that Heath got it. This will raise the standard now and people can see that these films can be taken seriously.
