Heath Ledger wasn’t the best Joker, he was the Joker
-
When the Oscars actually took the time to present their awards
-
14 years later and I still get teary eyed watching this. RIP Heath.
-
The fact that Christopher Nolan made sure to mention Heath Ledger in his Golden Globe win today made me a bit emotional. 😢
-
2009-heath ledger 2019-phoenix The best 10 year challenge
-
Joker is gonna be the first and only comic book character to win two Oscars
-
I remember the reactions when Heath was announced to play the Joker. So many people were against this decision. In the end, as we all know, it was the right decision. What an amazing portrayal.
-
After 14 years, this still makes me tear up. Seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman at the beginning makes it sting even more. RIP to both those legends
-
After 13 years, Heath was not the supporting actor, He was the movie.
-
The performance Jared Leto : 25% Joaquin Pheonix : 100% Heath Ledger: 101%

This video still makes me tear up. Heath Ledger gave one of the greatest performances of all time with his amazing portrayal of the Joker. It's undoubtedly the greatest iteration of the character and always will be. RIP legend.
-
Anyone that says he won this award because he died wasn’t watching the same movie I was. One of the greatest performances I have ever or will ever see.
-
I wish we could see Heath accepting his Oscar.
-
Saddest thing about Heath Ledger’s death is he didn’t get to enjoy the success of this role. This would’ve no doubt opened the door of bigger and better roles for him.
-
Heath nailed it as the Joker and the fact that people still hold his performance as the standard shows what he accomplished with that role.
-
I've never seen this clip, It amaze me how touched all these people are by the speech. It was not an award by sympathy, it was an award by appreciation of his amazing piece of art. Thank you Heath, may you have find your peace!

“It’s not about the oscar, it’s about sending a message.”
-
Honestly, if Heath had been given a stand alone joker movie like phoenix.........I can't even imagine to what depths he would've taken the character to......true legend
-
You can see the absolute pain in every persons eyes knowing what performances could have been. RIP Heath. Thank you for giving us quite literally the best acting performance of all time 🔥🔥❤❤

Not that this happens often, but this instance is so rare as an example of a posthumous award being given completely on performance, and not because the person has passed. This role was absolutely iconic. Utter perfection.
