dear internet,

If Heath Ledger wins the Oscar for "The Dark Knight," will it be due to his amazing acting in it, or because he's dead?

    If he'd lived, he would probably have to wait for one of those lifetime achievement awards. He was always in the sort of film that doesn't usually get oscars even when the acting is brilliant.

    I think that if he does win, it will be because he's dead as he would never have won if he was alive due to the nature of the film; but that's not to say that he doesn't deserve it.
