Will Win: Heath Ledger - The Dark KnightYou'd have to take a mad gamble to bet against Ledger here. For one thing, he's managed to pick up nearly every award under the sun. Also, The Dark Knight was an extremely popular movie and this is the film's greatest accomplishment. And this of course will be the last opportunity to honor the memory and acting career of Ledger that was tragically cut too short. All the other nominees in this category should just be happy to hear their names called at the beginning and join the standing ovation for Ledger's name as he follows Peter Finch's lead.
Should Win: Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight
I actually remember just waiting to see his performance fail to meet my expectations when I first saw The Dark Knight. But nothing of the sort happened, and he completely reinvented a character that I had already fallen in love with from Jack Nicholson. When you watch the movie, he's got so much passion, wit and energy that it's only until the closing credits' tribute that you realize he's really gone. This truly does belong to Ledger for a commanding and miraculous performance.
