for best supporting actor. I'm torn on this. I saw the Dark Knight, and he did fantastically well, but would he have gotten this award if he were alive? I think in this category, the competition was weak.

Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder. He's a comedic actor. He played a comedic role. I'm not sure how hard it is to play a black guy when you are white, but I think it's fairly straightforward, right Bird?

Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder - I'll admit I was amused by his performance. But, was it really that difficult for Cruise to play a foul mouthed, dancing geek? Perhaps anything besides cocky pompous ass (and an elementary chalk board) is a bit of a stretch for Cruise. Still, not all that noteworthy.

Ralph Fiennes in the Duchess. ZZZZZZ, he played his typical typecast character.

Phillip Seymour Hoffmann in Doubt - this is perhaps the only competition to Heath.

I don't think Ledger's performance was Oscar Worthy, but he may get a nod. It would be shocking if he won.

As an african american and former black panther I have no idea how hard it was for Downey to play that role.

Of the people you listed nobody stands out as a lock for the Oscar so I think Ledger will get it as something like a lifetime achievement award.

Hollywood will do it to make themselves feel better.

The Oscar noms haven't been announced yet. I doubt this will be Ledger's competetion (comedic film actors are rarely nominated). I don't even know if Ledger will be nominated.

Its been a weak year for movies so I think Ledger is definitely the favorite.They've been pumping up his oscar chances on this since before it came out.If he wasnt dead I'm not sure he gets nominated.

tom cruise was in tropic thunder?

Uhm. Duh? He was the fuckity fuck, fat dancing producer guy.

[BIRD33]

I hope Tom Cruise is done as a major star.That nazi movie looked terrible.I read a piece where it called him the most unlikable star that was bankable of the last 30 years and I agree with that.

I have never saw tropic thunder. I am not a stiller fan.

Do they bury the award with him?
