this is why I hate film critics and the Academy

Please don't post spoilers in this thread.

A lot of people have been praising Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight. People have gone as far to say that it's "Oscar worthy" and I'd tend to agree..

So what have a lot of critics said in response to this acclaim? "It's highly unlikely that you could win an Oscar for a role based on a comic book"


What the fuck is that supposed to mean? A lot of comic books are written extremely well.. look at The Watchmen and others.. graphic novels.. what have you. Some of the best writers I've seen have penned comic book titles.

these people (critics) shouldn't be allowed anywhere near my television screen or newspaper. No credibility whatsoever.

Not really the point of the thread, though.. I mean, how is that a solid reason..the whole "it's a comic book" thing?

It's the same with comedy roles, I remember with little miss sunshine lots of people were saying it couldn't win best picture because it was more of a comedy than a drama movie.

Little Miss Sunshine was one of the worst movies I saw that year. I couldn't believe it got nominated for anything.

Re: this is why I hate film critics and the Academy

I enjoyed little miss sunshine.

I agree, It shouldnt matter what type of movie it is, it should only matter on his/her performance.

And for the record, I 100% believe that Heath should get a Oscar nomination. And if he doesn't win, I want to see who does.

I saw the movie today...Heath Ledger was AWESOME, as was pretty much the entire cast. Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman...all awesome

It was an incredible movie! Heath was great. I thought he was a legitimate crazy homicidal maniac. The rest of the cast was good too
