I was as saddened by the tragic loss of celebrated actor Heath Ledger as much as anybody. The man was truly a genius of his craft, only recently getting the chance to break through being pigeonholed as the teen Hollywood hunk with films like Brokeback Mountain and I’m Not There. Even in his lesser films though, the performances he would deliver always stood out as a pinnacle of the production, oftentimes making mediocre movies that much more enjoyable because of them.
But for fuck’s sake, please stop saying he should get an Oscar for his role in The Dark Knight when the movie isn’t even out yet. This has been a recurring discussion amongst people ever since his death, and now with little over a week left until the movie can actually be viewed by the people making these claims, it feels like it's become necessary to speak out against such ridiculous notions.
