HEATH LEDGER
The late Heath Ledger was nominated for a 2009 Gold Globe Award for his portrait of the Joker in this year’s summer blockbuster Batman the Dark Knight. This is wonderful, in my opinion, for two reason.
Number one - the star truly deserves to win the award for this performance, he was haunting and sadistic and the character stays with viewers long after they leave the theatre. As some have put it, it was a movie that hits on every emotion in just the right way and I believe that was because of Ledger.
Number 2- Ledger was completely snubbed the year he was in Brokeback Mountain and they deserve to give him an award for that alone.
