    Honestly, if Heath had been given a stand alone joker movie like phoenix.........I can't even imagine to what depths he would've taken the character to......true legend

      Tbh I dont think it would've been as good. The reason why joker won best supporting role because hes a contrast to the entire movie and stands out. It wouldn't have been as good if Joker was the main actor in the movie, sorry but its true.

      One of many things that made his Joker so great was a fact that we knew nothing about his backstory. If he got a movie explaining his origin it wouldn't be as good as the recent Joker movie. The same way Phoenix plays completely different Joker which wouldn't work as Batman foe in a way Ledger's Joker did. We weren't meant to understand Ledger as Joker, he was meant to be mysterious psycho.

      You didn’t know him, and I daresay other than The Dark Knight you watched maybe one or two of his other films.

However I can't be certain that's the case, but just a hunch feeling.

      @@zackariasevertson7733 You all are so pretentious lmfao first you people think actors are too angry, then they're too emotional, then they're too fake like...what's the truth then? I think they're complex people because of their wealth and attention. Some people handle it gracefully, some people don't. Hollywood is full of weirdos and also normal people. But at the end of the day, they can still grieve over their industry peer passing away.

    What I would give to have seen him up there to accept that award and give a speech. His joker was some of the best acting I've seen to this day.

    Heath Ledger as the Joker was one of the greatest acting performances of this millennium.

    Phillip Seymour Hoffman being there is so heartbreaking, too. It’s devastating that we lost both of these men too early.

    I watched The Dark Knight at 2am on premiere night after a twelve hour shift. Any other 2 1/2 hr movie would’ve put me to sleep. I watched Heath’s performance and the buzz from his energy kept me up and talking about it for at least another four hours after. Truly remarkable

      Filipe Gomes It's such a shame. Once you're addicted it's hard to stop. They were both great actors and it's very saddening to know that we'll never see anything more from them. I can't believe it's been 6 years since Heath..
