Heath Ledger Wins Golden Globe
The Golden Globes have given Heath Ledger a much deserved award tonight.
His performance as the Joker is incredible, and of course the fact that he died makes the whole thing much more poignant. The question that some will ask — would he have gotten this much attention for playing a supervillian if he were still alive — is, of course, moot, but I think he would have. Watch the movie again and see if you agree. (I’m assuming that you’ve already seen it. If you haven’t, what exactly are you waiting for? It’s fucking incredible.)
Oh, and can we stop bothering to say that Jack Nicholson’s Joker was any good? Nicholson is great but his performance in that movie wasn’t even close to what Ledger did in ‘Dark Knight‘. So enough already.
(If you want to compare the two, here’s a video. But I’m right. Trust me.)
