I say yes, and USA Today actually did a special on this firday. Only 4,... maybe 5 actors I forget which ones, have ever received an Oscar that were deceased. One dated all the way back to like 1922 I think. Basicall has only happened a handful of times in the past 100 years.

 

With that said I still think the answer is yes, I'd go as far as to say it probably would be almost a definite if he hadn't passed away...... AND if it wasn't a movie based on a comic book.

Definitely yes. I was absolutely blown away by his performance.

 

Going into the movie, if I hadn't known he played the joker I likely wouldn't have been able to figure out who it was. It didn't feel like I was watching Heath Ledger at all. Saddest part of it, is that although he was a pretty popular actor, I think that many would've considered this a milestone in his career, almost a break out performance.

The Da Vinci Code was not a very good movie IMO.

 

Whether you like it or not, I was just mentioning that he was in it. You could tell he aged quite a bit from The Professional to that...and I haven't seen The Dark Knight yet to see how much more he has aged.

Six have been nominated. Only Peter Finch for "Network" has won.

He's aged A LOT, I don't even remember him in the Da Vinci Code?

For those of you who voted No, why?

 

Personally that was one of the best performances I have seen in a long, long time. Even before he died we were hearing all about how devoted he was to this character and it really showed. That was a truly amazing performance coupled with excellent writing.
