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.

I cry everytime that I watch this, Heath Ledger was a magnificent artist and a humble soul. And so was Philip Seymour Hoffman, may these legends rest in peace.
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 can't believe it's been so long since Heath Ledger's death😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 if only if he was still alive, he could've had his chance to take home his wonderful award and still would have made his family proud!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
Just remember, Heath recieved so much hate and backlash from fans when he was cast as The Joker even a petition was made for a recast. Oh how the tables have turned out now
@@Erasureeraser NGL. I have vague memories of hearing about the stress from acting as the Joker, so because of that this whole time I had assumed Heath Ledger committed suicide. And yeah turns out I got that wrong, you learn something every day.
Christopher Nolan was so upset that he gave up his future plans for joker when he died . You know why he gave up ? Because no one can replace HEATH LEDGER as ( JOKER)
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.
I remember watching his documentary with his father, and pretty much the first line of the film, the father just explained that “heath came over for a family get-together and parked on the grass of his parents yard. He got out of the car and saw he had run over an ant hive. He was ready to go in and have dinner, but he explained to his father his concern for the ants running up a tree. “Well I’ve wrecked their home, and I feel badly about that.” That’s a TRUE human being with an unbelievable amount of empathy for all other things. We miss you so much Heath! ❤
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!
Heath was an awesome actor!! I cannot believe that he took himself away from life. It's is aobsad however the academy recognized him for his efforts and his family accepted his award. That was the perfect thing to honor a son and a brother and as an actor to the public. Go heath!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
@Abrar Mohammad you're the one who's overhyped lol. You're driven by emotion Just because the guy's dead. You're not judging them by their performance...
Aaaaah. I am crying to watch this again after 15 years. What a beautiful person and great Actor he was. Heath Ledger, you will stay forever in our hearts. Your work as "Joker" in the Film is a masterpiece that will keep you alive forever.
When Heath's family gives the speech, you can see everybody just wanting to cry. It may be difficult to watch, but it shows how Heath affected not just the movie industry, but everyone in it.
you can definitely see it in the audiences' eyes; thanks to the camera people who panned through the audience and gave us these shots. Gives us a glimpse of the reality in all this.
@@reemtator4370 Yes. He took too much drugs, but as far as I know, it was because of a deadly combination of sleep pills and a new medication he was put on. That’s what I’ve understood. I think he loved his Joker that much that he wouldn’t have wanted to kill himself before it was out???
I miss when the Oscars were like this. Actually commenting on why these actors did such brilliant jobs. All of these actors did brilliant jobs. Not like nowadays where every category has at least one nomination where you go "Really?"
@@lickenhuntsman5338 I can see where you're coming from but I can certainly say for someone who has been reading comics since 1998, Heath Ledger was THE best Joker to grace the big screen. Joaquin Pheonix was really good but his version of the Joker while being very good is not the Joker as he originally was, probably because these were his early years so throughout most of the movie, while we do get a good Joker it's not as similar to the Joker character as Heath.
Can't understand most of the people in this comment section saying "Heath was miles better" or "Joaquin was miles better". Both actors portrayed different aspects of the Joker; one was a fully psychotic role whereas the other was a transitional one. One was the supporting character whereas the other was the lead character. Can we please stop the comparisons as to who is better and appreciate the fact that both of them were phenomenal in their respective roles?
@@lordrhal5482 I'd have been lying if there hadn't been such replies: but unfortunately, there are. You can check @Foxy and @George Yacoub's comment replies right here on this video. Shows people saying "Heath was miles better in all honesty" or "Joaquin was far better" - not just 'better'. If you don't want to check, fine by me.
Well, right. But I'd still give the edge to Heath Ledger only because his work was more dynamic.. He took the spotlight from the main character as he was the supporting actor while Joaquin Phoenix was the main.. and about the difference of one being transitional and the other was not , very good point 🙌
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’
The pain on everyone's faces is still felt today. I think we'd all have loved to see what more Heath could've achieved after revolutionising acting through being the Joker.
And he is still remembered today. Even Joaquin Phoenix mentioned him in his speech after accepting the SAG award: "I'm standing here on the shoulders of my favorit actor, Heath Ledger." Heath was great. Also loved Bale as Batman, one of my favorite actors.
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.
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
That's because unlike all the other villains in comic books, both DC and Marvel. He has no Superpower, not rich, and not a genius-level IQ. He is a man broken down by society where his only outlet was creating chaos and to level the playing field with Batman.
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 TH-cam video on that saying Heath Ledger was demon possessed as the joker. It was some scary stuff.
+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
+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.
@@flandrescarlet1111 This is insensitive to say...just because they're actors doesn't mean they don't show their real human emotions. Heath was beloved by the industry and his peers. Stop being pretentious
@@zackariasevertson7733 You all are so pretentious lmfao first you people think actors are too angry, then they're too emotional, then they're too fake like...what's the truth then?

@@NIGHTYM yes they're different and that's why I am saying Joaquin is better. Ledger's Joker already gone crazy so it was simple to portray a wildly bizarre guy who is 1 dimensional. But Joaquin has to give to transformational performance for a complex character. So Joaquin >>>>> Ledger
As much as we like to think if a comic book movie is executed perfectly, it can sweep Oscars, we can not forget the character performance of Heath Ledger that made it legendary.
this was the first time an actor has won for a villain role and i think its the first time an oscar was awarded after an actor's death but i may be mistaken there
@@TamizPerdiz U don't even know what u are saying right now. Fun fact: heath ledger locked himself up in a hotel room and wrote down the emotions of the joker for like a week. Thats dedication!
The only 2 characters to win an oscar twice, portrayed by different actors. *Vito Corleone:* "Marlon Brando" and "Robert De Niro" *The Joker:* "Heath Ledger" and "Joaquin Phoenix"
Who knows By the year of 4122, DC will finally make a movie that will make as much money and will win as much Oscars as Black Panther. Yeah yeah let's have some fun it's not about money it's about sending message LMAO
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.
@keanamiller-wood4101 he was a mediocre joker beyond belief and certainly no nicholson. he won because he died. mediocre grade c performance. he was great in two hands, but will never be a joker
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😢
I watched The Dark Knight at 2am on premiere night after a twelve hour shift. Any other 2 1/2 hr movie would’ve put me to sleep. I watched Heath’s performance and the buzz from his energy kept me up and talking about it for at least another four hours after. Truly remarkable
This was the best format for presenting the acting awards. It was really a great idea and shows respect for both the old winners and the nominees. The speeches were also very well written. I have no idea why they stopped this format after only using it for 2 years. Those were the most entertaining Oscar shows I've seen.
Wow, that crowd looked seriously sad when Heath's family came up for the award. And rightly so, not many performances can be as mesmerising, or as visually disturbing, as Ledger's JOKER. If I was any actor there worth my crust, I'd aspire to make a acting performance like that. Rest In Peace Heath Ledger
@@ghostofdeath663 but its not about a written character, its about how the actor can portray said character and Heath gave a great performance in that movie

@@koboldmaki6014 omg you made me rewind…. I can’t believe Alan Arkin said “Seymour Philip hoffman”. Maybe he was trying to make a joke like we should see more of him, but maybe I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt 😂

i never watched any of his movies, but this made me emotional for sure. but what i dont get is if he was disturbed, then why we celebrate his great acting, if he was just himself. then it wasnt an act, he was insane.
he was a mediocre joker beyond belief and certainly no nicholson. he won because he died. mediocre grade c performance. he was great in two hands, but will never be a joker

@@ericcartman725 Both?
I cry everytime that I watch this, Heath Ledger was a magnificent artist and a humble soul. And so was Philip Seymour Hoffman, may these legends rest in peace.
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.
10 years after his death. RIP

@@Erasureeraser NGL. I have vague memories of hearing about the stress from acting as the Joker, so because of that this whole time I had assumed Heath Ledger committed suicide. And yeah turns out I got that wrong, you learn something every day.
He never committed suicide, it was an accidental overdose
I feel Heath Ledger was just scratching the surface of the greatness within him.
And that makes it even more tragic...

Even the other nominees arent doing the usual fake smile here, they all know who was gonna win here and deservedly so. They showed absolute respect

R.I.P Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Heath Ledger. Two of them are great actors.
Galang eka sakti two once in a century actors, the hole they left in the movie industry is insane and may never be filled.
And one of them are not lol
and narcos
I remember watching his documentary with his father, and pretty much the first line of the film, the father just explained that “heath came over for a family get-together and parked on the grass of his parents yard. He got out of the car and saw he had run over an ant hive.
He was ready to go in and have dinner, but he explained to his father his concern for the ants running up a tree. “Well I’ve wrecked their home, and I feel badly about that.”
That’s a TRUE human being with an unbelievable amount of empathy for all other things. We miss you so much Heath! ❤

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!

The dark Knight should have won best picture
Heath was an awesome actor!! I cannot believe that he took himself away from life. It's is aobsad however the academy recognized him for his efforts and his family accepted his award. That was the perfect thing to honor a son and a brother and as an actor to the public. Go heath!!!
15 years since this award. Just watched Dark Knight again to see Heath’s legendary performance again. RIP Heath.
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.
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 performance
Jared Leto : 25%
Joaquin Pheonix : 100%
Heath Ledger: 101%
Joaquin phoenix 200%!!!

@@lickenhuntsman5338 I can see where you're coming from but I can certainly say for someone who has been reading comics since 1998, Heath Ledger was THE best Joker to grace the big screen. Joaquin Pheonix was really good but his version of the Joker while being very good is not the Joker as he originally was, probably because these were his early years so throughout most of the movie, while we do get a good Joker it's not as similar to the Joker character as Heath.
The entire movie industry has sunk.

Man if Heath was here Nolan would have 100% put him in inception
Heath would've definitely become a reoccurring actor in Nolan's films
Not just that, imagine his career after his Oscar win. Would've love to see a stand alone indie Joker movie starring Heath
@@Erasureeraser Indie? lol
@@yooooo8600 yeah, imagine Joker as an independent movie from A24 or Neon, that would've been cool
Maybe instead of DiCaprio
Can't understand most of the people in this comment section saying "Heath was miles better" or "Joaquin was miles better". Both actors portrayed different aspects of the Joker; one was a fully psychotic role whereas the other was a transitional one. One was the supporting character whereas the other was the lead character.
Can we please stop the comparisons as to who is better and appreciate the fact that both of them were phenomenal in their respective roles?
This would have been a nice comment if u didn’t lie. No one said MILES better. Just better. Everyone knows they are both great
@@lordrhal5482 I'd have been lying if there hadn't been such replies: but unfortunately, there are. You can check @Foxy and @George Yacoub's comment replies right here on this video.

N C O ok
My bad 👍🏻
🙌
Well, right. But I'd still give the edge to Heath Ledger only because his work was more dynamic.. He took the spotlight from the main character as he was the supporting actor while Joaquin Phoenix was the main.. and about the difference of one being transitional and the other was not , very good point 🙌

The pain on everyone's faces is still felt today. I think we'd all have loved to see what more Heath could've achieved after revolutionising acting through being the Joker.
And he is still remembered today. Even Joaquin Phoenix mentioned him in his speech after accepting the SAG award: "I'm standing here on the shoulders of my favorit actor, Heath Ledger." Heath was great. Also loved Bale as Batman, one of my favorite actors.
The dark knight was an amazing film.

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.

Heath Ledger as the Joker was one of the greatest acting performances of this millennium.
Here after joaquin's win ....Man, this character of Joker is special....
That's because unlike all the other villains in comic books, both DC and Marvel. He has no Superpower, not rich, and not a genius-level IQ. He is a man broken down by society where his only outlet was creating chaos and to level the playing field with Batman.
@@Jonathanalankieffer I am pretty sure that joker is a genius master planer in the comics

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 TH-cam 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.
The fact that you can SEE the bitter sweetness in everyone in the audiences face speaks of how much Heath was beloved in the film industry
You could see the pain....they felt it...
they're all actors..
@@flandrescarlet1111 This is insensitive to say...just because they're actors doesn't mean they don't show their real human emotions. Heath was beloved by the industry and his peers. Stop being pretentious

@@zackariasevertson7733 You all are so pretentious lmfao first you people think actors are too angry, then they're too emotional, then they're too fake like...what's the truth then?

But at the end of the day, they can still grieve over their industry peer passing away.
I get chills still watching this. Heath did a great job as he did with his other roles as well. I liked him most of all in 10 Things and Lords of Dogtown. RIP Heath. You were a bright light gone way too soon!
