Heath Ledger wasn’t the best Joker, he was the Joker
anubis, dude you need to chill out
@ Anubis the joker doesn't have to stick to script like others such as batman, or any of the other dc heroes thats why Nolan and Ledger had so much fun because they could play around with the idea of a sporadic and totally spontaneous character this was the idea and the comics and the games implement this too but not to the extent of ledger. I just dont get why you would hate such a masterpiece which most people can agree on.And for that u may indeed call me a normie.

@@tjaartvdwalt3939 the movie was good and heath was a good actor but saying he's the best joker is pure nonesense people judge him based on his acting which was good but the writing is completely different from the acting the characters and how they are written should be criticised not the actors like an animated character could be better than an actor playing the characters due to superior writing the arkham games and BTAS are still the best interpretation of the character heck even troy baker from assault on arkham with his small screen time was still better due superior writing.
Yes he sure was

I'm not so sure. I think that he was so good because he got deep into his performances. Sadly I think it was playing the Joker that helped take his life😢
it was because before he was known for being a knight and cowboy in romance movies, right? idk i wasn’t born yet

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.
I don't think his death had something to do with him being "unsuccessful" as an actor. He was on top of his field when he passed away. That's what made it so tragic.

@@lickenhuntsman5338No, just no. If you like Joaquin Phoenixs Joker, let me tell you something. That is a great perfomance but not a good Joker perfomance or should I say story. This version of the Joker cries at society for not caring about poor losers like him. He is no threat to anyone, neither intimidating nor crazy or intelligent. The 2019 Joker is more mature. But exactly that is why he’s less accurate to any interpretation of the Joker. He is a humorless psychopathic loser. Get with it.
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.

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.
because he sold his soul to the devil, in this movie joker is played by a devil possesed to heath ledger, here is the secret of amazing acting, heath ledger locked himself in hotel for a month to do occult rituals to bring demons and get possesed to him !! most people think its a joke but it is fact, if u dont believe search heath ledger was possesed by a demon on utube !!
“It’s not about the oscar, it’s about sending a message.”
Yes! 🤣
But... the Oscar is nice...
Everything burns...
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
Literally..
The sadness on everyone's face when Heath's family was up there is so palpable.
Heath Ledger gave the greatest performance of all the time
@@lickenhuntsman5338 they both are the best
@@lickenhuntsman5338 they brought very different interpretations of the character, which were both excellent. No need to compare them
Ledger embraced the role and was border line psychotic and obsessed.Jao on the other hand did a great job on the joker’s backstory.Ledger was the Joker and Christian bale is the best Batman aswell.The movie casting was actually on point and because of ledger he created a lot of DC fans.Iron man was very good but DC then was something else
@@lickenhuntsman5338 wtf... Ledger will be remembered as the joker, while Phoenix will be remembered as the closest successor to ledger's performance.
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!

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
Tbh I dont think it would've been as good. The reason why joker won best supporting role because hes a contrast to the entire movie and stands out. It wouldn't have been as good if Joker was the main actor in the movie, sorry but its true.
One of many things that made his Joker so great was a fact that we knew nothing about his backstory. If he got a movie explaining his origin it wouldn't be as good as the recent Joker movie. The same way Phoenix plays completely different Joker which wouldn't work as Batman foe in a way Ledger's Joker did. We weren't meant to understand Ledger as Joker, he was meant to be mysterious psycho.
Jhlee110302 # Oh, piss off saying you miss him so much. You didn’t know him, and I daresay other than The Dark Knight you watched maybe one or two of his other films. Get the hell out of here with that bs whimsical ‘I miss him so much’ nonsense.
A solo movie for Heath wouldnt have worked as well as Joaquins, his joker was pure evil and chaos.
i agree with u
They didn’t give Heath Ledger the award out of sympathy for his death, they gave Heath Ledger got the award because he deserved it and his performance was one of a kind and the best I and most have and will ever see. If you don’t like Batman, give the Dark Knight a try purely for Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker because it’s bloody fantastic.
Facts. I remember as a kid seeing him as the joker and genuinely being afraid of him every time he was on the screen. That shows how good he was
even if you don't give a damn about superheroes, which I don't, everyone needs to see Dark Knight. Its not just a great super hero movie, its just a great damn movie with a legendary performance
Amen 💯
@spankythedog56 couldn't give a fuck about super heros. Haven't seen basically any of them besides a few and none within 10 hears probably (except Deadpool if you count that) but The Dark Knight fucking SLAPS. ridiculously good
@@Buddha507Yeah, me myself never really liked superhero movies but I decided to watch the Dark Knight for Heath Ledger's performance because I heard someone say it was excellent

frankly I dont like the 2020 joker, who is not a born-to-be psychopath. It is sad.
2009 Oscars that year was the best ever. Not only Heath Ledger won, but there were a lot of legends there also. I love the fact that there were five actors/actresses all represent the awards four times. Supporting actress, supporting actor, lead actress, and lead actor. And also great speech by Heath's parents. Almost everybody had tears in their eyes.
Heath Ledger’s Joker has got to be one of the most jaw dropping performance in cinematic history
That's the actor there's a difference between performance and character people need to seperate between the actor and character they're two seperate things
Second to Joaquin Phoenix's performance.

It’s strange. I sadly feel like history will not remember and praise a guy like Phillip Seymour Hoffman as highly as he clearly deserves. He was never considered a leading man, and rarely cast as such, but he was an absolute master of his craft, and he really deserves his very own pedestal. I would dare anyone to name a performance of his where he wasn’t excellent. A real shame for cinema to lose him so soon

I think there is more to it than just that. While the other nominees would have loved to win that year, I think they all knew they didn't deserve the title after what happened to Heath and gave up the win in his honor as respect as well as his outstanding performance as Joker. However I can't be certain that's the case, but just a hunch feeling.
Total perfect ❤

Doubt he cares much..y'know, being dead
he did tho

And joaquin phoenix will again win an oscar for joker after 10 years .
Maybe

Nope he knows who to act like it’s not even fare I hate y’all stick to marvel and dc films

That hospital bombing scene behind him and walking towards the camera tells everything,what an actor
The amount of talent in that room and they all gave respect to Heath Ledger. Speaks volumes to him as a human and his work.

Portraying a comic book villain seems so simplistic but what Heath Ledger did with this goes so far beyond what I guess what was on the paper of the script I don´t think anyone ever will forget it. He set a prescedence for all other roles in that genre for all time. He truly deserved it. It was amazing. RIP.

The Oscars are legitimately a travesty if he does not get his Oscar this time round. Living legend who outdoes himself every role.
Stannis The Mannis I haven’t seen the joker movie yet, did he do a good job playing the role
@@silasstowell3709 Quite a good job. Maybe the best perfomance of all time
that's not gonna happen
Shit film
This speech from his family is legendary. You could just tell there there was a quiet solemnity in the air. Bravo to Heath 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Heath Ledger was definitely absolutely beautifully ‘the Joker’ - he’d be very proud, we love him and his amazing acting ability ‘turning weakness into strength’
You know someone is a legend when they win an Oscar in their afterlife
absolutely.
Peter Finch.
Not hard when all other characters that year are shit compared to Heath's phenomenal "performance", if it even is one. He literally lived and breathed the Joker. Amazing.
he wouldn't have one had he not died, even the academy have pretty much admitted that.
MephProduction what’s wrong with you? No one cares about you
Let me say this! Heath did not win that award because he died he earned that shyt! He was exactly what Joker was! That man went into another zone to play that character and if you knew him as an actor you would know he was gone walk away with that award whether he was alive or not. Standing ovaaaation! Heath slayed that role no ifs ands buts about it. I wish he could of been alive to win that award because he deserved it
+Nancy Fischer It's called "Method Acting" where the actor actually becomes the character and takes it on and off the set. Eat, sleeps, and breathes as if he is the character. We used to do this in acting class, I was in the play with the Peanuts characters and the guy who played Linus really took it too far, walking around all the time dragging a blanket on campus lol. Some people even think that the actor becomes demon possessed as the character, they had a whole KZhead video on that saying Heath Ledger was demon possessed as the joker. It was some scary stuff.
Hahahaha no.
+Susan Maxfield I took an acting class as well, and Heath was brought up in one of our lessons, him and Depp. Both phenomenal actors....I was so glad when Heath got this Oscar! It was well deserved
Christina Drake yes well deserved
+Nancy Fischer i believe that his win is deserved, however i think that the academy is messed up system that if he was alive they would not have given him the oscar, even though it would have been earned. but because it was his last they gave it to him. kinda like how winslet won for the reader that year. it isnt deserved but they feel she was overdue for one.
I was absolutely moved by his family’s humbleness, and so were some of the attendees.

One of the most deserving oscar of all time
Undeserving*
leonardo azzari Deserving*
Really undeserved oscar, just won it because he passed away
+leonardo azzari He won because of his method acting The academy loves that now don't be so rude for no reason
leonardo azzari what? Or give oscar to that clown of robert downey junior. Grow up kid.
While it has been said that they only gave him the Oscar because of his death, I think it was well deserved. His version of the Joker is not only one of the best superhero movie villains, but one of the most iconic villain portrayals ever.
100%
I think he would’ve won had he been alive regardless. I don’t think the win would’ve changed.
Of course.
I have never heard that theory. He gave one of the best performances of the past 50 years!
It's beyond ridiculous for anyone to suggest that. This is one of the greatest performances in movie history and it has nothing to do with the actor dying. This movie changed superhero movies forever and it was mainly bc of this character.
15 years later, and i still get teary eyed watching this. Heath was a great actor, I loved him in a Knights Tale. Sadly, he started doing bigger projects, which meant more money but more stress, and he turned to drugs. Rest easy, you will be missed.
I often wonder what heath would've said had he lived. I bet he would've thanked his family, christopher nolan, christian bale, his fellow nominees and i bet he would've been so overwhelmed by the support.
This was NOT a honorary Oscar for Heath's career. He earned the shit out of that Oscar.
i think what people would debate is if he wouldve won if he were alive. we all know, and all of the other actors know that heath's performance is and will forever be one of the greatest performances of all time. its just that the academy is full of a bunch of stubborn, narrow minded pricks who hate superhero movies, so they might not have give it to heath. but it's obvious that he was completely deserving of it.
+Rick Jatti Damn, I was about to comment the same thing, pretty much verbatim. Agreed man, well put.
Taylor Downs thanks
Agree!! (The "lead" was who???)
Eeh not really. He was a good actor but not a great actor.
It must be so hard for those parents to hear the man saying; “and the oscar goes to Heath Ledger”. And then, they’ve gotta walk up to the stage and take his oscar. How heartbreaking that must be!
I'm sure they're more happy he was recognized for his work and how much people loved him
better then hearing someone elses name heard.
15 years later and still so impactful. ❤
Imagine what other roles he could’ve immortalized had he not passed away 😢
I came here from basically writing the same comment on fb about a wonderful actor. I can't even imagine what could have been. R.I.P heath ledger ❤
But you can see the pain in the audience and the sadness that’s left in the crowd because of his death ):
no. they are actors.
they seemed very fake
@@xyzxyzxyz2959 "seemed" Be more specific or be more interesting.
They seemed to be identically dissemble and not sincere
@@xyzxyzxyz2959 Perhaps, but maybe you are being cynical. Maybe not. However, it would be easy for the actors to be genuinely sad as they worked in same profession - and he was brilliant.
And Joaquin's acknowledgment of Heath's eleven years later (after portraying the same character) just makes this even more memorable. Unquestionably, two unique human beings.
Yup, both portrayals absolutely brilliant, too. For different reasons.
"Without Heath influence I wont be here taking this award tonight"
His solo movie: 97% Rotten Tomatoes 88% Metacritic A+ Audience Cinemascore 3 Oscars 1.3 Billion dollars He so far starred in 4 movies and all of them are box office champions. You know Black Panther is one lucky bastard when you know he achieved everything in 4 years while Batman and Joker in decades couldn't.
Joaquin couldn’t hold heath ledgers makeup.
I will never understand the obsession with Superhero movies and who is going to play lead role in them.
The fact that RDJ got the nomination for the Tropic Thunder role, is amazing! 😂 I love that movie, and RDJ crushed that role.

Heath Ledger as the Joker was one of the greatest acting performances of this millennium.
Most deserved Oscar in the history of the Academy Awards.
That goes to Leonardo Dicaprio
freeDUMB's a LIE Ok definitely him too.
I love Heath but I think the most deserved is Ennio Morricone. He waited like 50-60 years for his Oscar.
JRLISKE Don't know who that is but ok
+Andrea S He's composed some of the most iconic scores in film history. His work dates back nearly seventy years. He composed the score for "The Thing", "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly", "The Hateful Eight", "The Mission", "Once Upon a Time in the West", etc. He's the reason western music sounds the way it does.
I don't agree with the Academy on a lot of their decisions, but they were dead right to give Heath Ledger the Oscar for his mesmerising portrayal of The Joker in The Dark Knight. He completely deserved that Oscar. One of the greatest acting performances I've ever seen, and will live on for generations to come. Rest in peace Heath Ledger, a masterful actor, and a truly wonderful human being. RIP Legend!

Not just that, imagine his career after his Oscar win. Would've love to see a stand alone indie Joker movie starring Heath
@@4deleDaz33m Indie? lol
@@yooooo8600 yeah, imagine Joker as an independent movie from A24 or Neon, that would've been cool
Maybe instead of DiCaprio
I think the way Heath portrayed the joker is the best piece of acting ever done.
i would put it up there with anthony hopkins hannibal lector
that a great character as well but nowhere near maniacal as heaths and hopkins characters. Vito does criminal activities and murder because he has to. where as the joker and hannibal are trying to turn the world in on itself.
Hok thank you, you read my mind. I'll never forget Heath's performance, his legacy will live on.
the truth is that when an artist(actor, singer, painter or whatever) dies in a premature and unpredictable way due to many reason, after his death is always be overrated...yeah i said that, even though i did like Heat
***** niether do you
When things like this happen, I usually think, “well yeah, he won because he died” ….. but this time, it was because he was the best damn supporting actor that year!
I come back every year or so till this day to rewatch the acceptance for heaths award. Most emotional award win I have ever had even more so than myself. It’s 2024 and I will continue to rewatch this award for heath bc he is truly missed. The joke perforce is simply iconic in every shape of the word and I will always be able to watch it to escape reality and just enjoy great acting and never tire of such an amazing performance
