Re: HEATH LEDGER DEAD
As a supporting role, it will STEAL the show like Javier Bardem did with No Country For Old Men.
Off topic of course, but that's the best performance to come out of Hollywood this decade.
Trying to think of something that tops it and I don't think I can. So I agree. But I say wait for Ledger. Bardem completely disappeared into the role versus how he acts in real life. I think Ledger has done something similar. You can't tell it's him, which is a great thing compared to Nicholson.

Re: HEATH LEDGER DEAD
Actually James, I just thought of two performances that are incredible (both by the same guy). Bill the Butcher and Daniel Plainview. I have seen the first one, but have not been able to see There Will Be Blood yet because it has not reached my town yet. Word is that Daniel Day-Lewis' performance is off the charts, just like it was in Gangs of New York. Now, his role in TWBB is a leading role, so maybe it's best to say Bardem's performance is the best by a supporting actor in this decade.
Re: HEATH LEDGER DEAD
Haven't watched those. Heard about There Will Be Blood. I don't think its in theaters in my area, or if it was, it already left.
I guess I could download it so I don't have to wait for the DVD.
Another amazing performance this decade is Ellen Page in Hard Candy. She was nominated for her role In Juno, and would like to see that before it leaves theaters.

Re: HEATH LEDGER DEAD
Yeah, you should check out Gangs of New York at some point. It's from 2002 so you can rent it from the video store or download it if you wish. Here's Mr. Day-Lewis in the role:
He was snubbed at the Oscars that year. A lot of people consider it one of the best performances ever. And his performance in There Will Be Blood is also getting huge praise as well.
Here's an interview with him where you can see how different he is from the characters he portrays:

Re: HEATH LEDGER DEAD
Question is: Is ADR work on Batman finished? Just cos they finished shooting doesn't mean they didn't still need him.....
Found the answer to your question. Ledger is finished with his post-production work. No over-dubs will be needed. It appears he finished his work in order to start with the Terry Gilliam film that he was filming at the time of his death.

Re: HEATH LEDGER DEAD
This is complete shock and a big bummer.
I wonder how Michelle Williams is taking the news.
She was devastated by it. It was reported that she was given a sedative and flew from L.A. to New York when she found out about it.
Re: HEATH LEDGER DEAD
A posthumous Oscar for the best supporting actor sounds a bit tacky, but if it does happen, you heard it here first.
Hollywood strike, people refusing to show up, might make the voters/nominaters change their ideas.
