You make a good point Sean...I think Gary & I are on the same page in thinking it wasn't the best...

Let's look at the other contenders:

Josh Brolin - MILK
Robert Downey, Jr. - TROPIC THUNDER
Philip Seymour Hoffman - DOUBT
Michael Shannon - REVOLUTIONARY ROAD

Okay, I've only seen Tropic Thunder, and well, again, I'm not sure he deserves the Oscar for that role but he was good. Strange that that movie got an Oscar nod. If Robert got a nomination, why not Tom Cruise, he was awesome.

How 'bout the rest of you folks who have seen the other movies above? Out of all those, do you think Heath Ledger deserves the win?

Totally agree...and it's still very, very sad. And could have been totally avoidable so I still consider it 'accidental suicide'.
