...yup it did.....the whole licking of the lips and why so serious crap was annoying. Nicolson's was better....

Okay. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But that opinion is completely incorrect, I feel sorry for you about the fact that you can't appreciate sheer talent. Shame.

Yeah, that's why he won a posthumous Oscar for it. Just shutup.

..so shut up. Any actor could have played the joker like that. It was not Oscar worthy.

reply

No, any actor could not have played the joker like that. That's why Christopher Nolan specifally wanted heath to play the role of the joker. He had no one else in mind because no one else COULD do it

....that's a bunch of BS...his performance was not anything special.

reply

Well, the academy thought it was Oscar-worthy.

reply

The Academy also gave average actors like Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, George Clooney Oscars for acting and Crash a best picture Oscar. My point being is more about back stage politics and less about talent. The pill popper wasn't that great.

reply

Also a straight up terrible actor like Christian Bale has one win and two other nominations at the academy which just proves that those awards are meaningless
