Can Heath Ledger succeed where so many others, including multi-nominated Jack Nicholson (as Tim Burton's Joker) and Michelle Pfeiffer (Catwoman), have failed before? Can he get a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his potentially astonishing portrayal of Batman's arch-nemesis in The Dark Knight? An acting nod for a character from a comic book adaptation, and a villain at that?
Why not? Academy: Why so serious?
