Late actor commended by critics for his performance in the Batman flick
Friday, 27 June 2008
Heath Ledger could win an Oscar for his role in Batman sequel The Dark Knight.
The late actor has been praised by critics who think his performance as the Joker is worthy of an Academy Award.
‘I can only speak superlatives of Heath, who is mad-crazy-blazing brilliant as the Joker,’ Rolling Stone critic Peter Travers writes.
‘It's typical of Heath's total commitment to films as diverse as Brokeback Mountain and I'm Not There that he does nothing out of vanity or the need to be liked.
‘Heath's Joker has no grey areas — he's all rampaging id. He creates a Joker for the ages.
‘If there's a movement to get him the first posthumous Oscar since Peter Finch won for 1976's Network, sign me up.’
Heath died from a prescription drugs overdose on 22 January at the age of 28.
He will be remembered in the credits of the film, which premieres in New York on 14 July.
