I'm glad Ledger got nominated so as to avoid the bitch-fest that would follow if he didn't but I'll say here what I've been saying ever since TDK came out: There's not a person on this planet that would place his performance so high up if the dude didn't off himself. It was a great role and a great job done on his part but there's no way in hell him dying doesn't add to that for those calling it the best of the year or even worse, best of all time.
