Heath Ledger’s final performance has had many buzzing long before the actor’s death.  His Joker is seen by many as a revelation of the character–creepy and crazy at the same time.  At the recent ShoWest convention for theater owners, many in the crowd were wowed by a short clip featuring Ledger’s arrival on screen.

If Ledger’s performance is truly what many are saying it is, then is it too soon to start talking Oscar buzz?  It would be quite the amazing accomplishment to even receive a nod for a major Hollywood film performance, let alone for an actor who has since passed away.  Still, the most fitting honoring of the actor’s memory would be for the film to live up to all the hype about his performance.
