Or does he? I thought he was a great actor and I've enjoyed several of his movies. He was a great guy and it's a real shame to see someone so talented die so young, but is his performance as the Joker worthy of an Oscar or is it his tragic death?

I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't really comment, infact most of the movies that end up being nominated at the Oscars aren't even released until later in the year. So it's just weird for so many people to be calling for him to be nominated for an Oscar when the movie isn't even out yet.

I dont really see a problem with him dying influencing whether he gets an Oscar. Good actor who probably would have won one sooner or later anyway. And unless they introduce a "best performing corpse" category, I doubt he'll be getting anymore nominations.

You guys will end up seeing it before me, so you'll have to come back and let me know whether you think he atleast deserves a nomination. I hope it's a great performance because the Joker is my favourite Batman villian and I loved Nicholson in the Tim Burton movie.

Plenty of people get to see films before they're released, e.g. studio people, reporters, critics etc.

The reviews that I've read (and trust) do say that his performance is rather stunning.

I just can't get over how good the music is.

It happens from time to time when actors in the limelight die.

Like you, I'll reserve judgement till the movie is out.

Doesn't look like it's on around here (in English) any time soon, so will have to wait a bit to see it.
