In my opinion the Dark knight is a great movie. I really liked it and I watched it for 3 times right now, two times in the english original.
Just because the film wasn't nominated for more oscars it is a bad movie. Sure, everyone has his own opinion!
But, I am not alone with my opinion, so, the movie can't be that bad: Look here, IMDB ratings and #6 isn't that bad I guess
And there are some more categories the movie was nominated: click here
Before I watched the movie I thought same like you: Heath is dead so, I am going to be very strict with his performance.
My result still is that he is really good in what he did in the movie. The craziness of the Joker is definately well played, I enjoyed it.
I didn't watch any of the other movies whose actors were nominated so I don't have a comparison but without this comparison I would say: Why not?
So, thats my opinion, everyone has it's own otherwise it would be kinda boring here

Well, ANYBODY who puts on a cape and tights to go out and battle villainy (or become a villain) is touched in the head.
That being said, I thought Heath Ledger was an excellent Joker.
Was he the Best Supporting Actor? Yes. Who else could have played the Joker to carry the movie? Ledger carried the film, just as much as Jack Nicholson did as the Joker in the original Batman movie.
I'm more upset about Sean Penn winning the Best Actor award over Mickey Rourke and Brad Pitt. Don't get me wrong, "Milk" is a good movie...but Pitt and Rourke turned in the performances of their lives. I don't think either of them will EVER AGAIN do as good a job as they did in their respective films.

I saw this on Cracked.com last night-

Sorry, there are so many of your quotes that I'll miss with this. Yes, Dark Knight was too frenetic, Ledger carried the film, he's the best Joker and Nolan should get some credit for that too!.
There are a lot of insider politics to the nominations and who knows if he would have been nominated if he didn't die. Either way, kudos to the academy for recognizing a performance in an action/adventure movie!
I wish he had lived on and am anxious to see his role in the Terry Gilliam movie, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.
So I guess my vote is yes, compared to the others.
