'Slumdog,' 'Rock,' Winslet Rule the Globes

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I think there are actors who don't get awards BECAUSE they have problems with alcohol, cocaine, etc. Josh Brolin, for instance.It's clear that he's turned in some wonderful performances over the past few years,and obviously people want to hire him. But he's known to be a violent, moody anddangerous person, who also cannot control himself at awards ceremonies. He made a speech last year that was obnoxious and this year, a speech in which he went over the line and used some language towards a critic that was unacceptable. He threw Diane Lane down the stairs, and obviously, this is all just as big a problem as someone addicted to drugs, who often only hurts himself. I would like to see less of the "usual suspects" nominated-and there are not enough minorities.

I think their ridiculous incomes should be reward enough. Why do the "haves" need heap all these awards on themselves? Vulgar

Hey Jim: Got news for you. The situations that you are referring to, has happened since the Oscars were began. There are countless performances made by other actors/actresses who may have been outstanding, but they ended up not even get nominated for their abilities. That is part of life, unfortunately. However, Heath put his life and soul into the Joker and did an OUTSTANDING job. (countless others do the same, not just Heath) Apparently, you didn't see the movie. He deserves to be recognized, regardless of what he did off-screen. People who have been judging Heath apparently are also judging the countless others who have done far worse things in their life, but were still recognized (and won) for their abilities.

Tina Fey is now whining about some nasty posts on the Internet. Tina, you sold your soul to the devil by humiliating the only female candidate for higher office. You could have remained loyal to your candidate and even campaigned for him but what you did was disloyal to women. You played on her feminity and disgraced her and her family. If you think that it is uncomfortable for you to have a few negative blogs then you should try being YOUR victim and be made fun of on national tv and have people laughing at your discomfort. You and the liberal brutal media have hurt this woman and her family beyond what is decent and you should be ashamed. Poorly done Tina.

Heath Ledger was a phenomenal actor!!! He deserved that award, his death was tragic. So for all those who think him winning was a mistake you're freaking idiots. Heath passed way before his time, and I'm sure there were many reason behind him taking pills to cope with his life in the celebrity spotlight. It isn't his fault that America is entranced by our celebs that the paparazzi will do ANYTHING to get a shot or to humiliate them. So for all those who don't think he deserved it you are so wrong. R.I.P. Heath!!!!

By Ledger winning an award just shows you how far the movie audiences and Hollywood have sunk. This guy's performance was not Oscar worthy or for anyother award. Young poeple power the box office today and if it was up to them, ( and it's coming) only action and hero movies would win awards. There have been manyother fine performances in dramas by other actors but they are snubbed as usual.I got to the movies every week-end and I'm hoping some day Hollywood will make agreat drama worth seeing.

Heath was a great actor before he died and to those small minded people out there, If you didn't know that before the awards............ then i thank GOD that i never have to watch a movie with you. Heath was a great actor and it is very sad that he died before it went public, maybe then all these heartless people would be speachless and we wouldn't have to put up with there jealous bull crap. GET OVER IT!!!! He was great and there is nothing you can do about it so stop complaining about it. HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! I believe Angelina Jolie got the shaft. She is one of the Best women in the entertainment industry. She had and always will have my vote. You Rock girl!!!! Keep on keeping it real and dont be affraid to show of those tats. I'm a teacher and think they are great, I have a few of my own. Its how we express our selves. Heath and Angelina ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would someone please explain why, after his death, Heath Ledger, is now considered the greatest young actor ever to grace the silver screen? Before his death he was, at best, a B-rated talent whose resume contained mostly crap movies. If he were still alive, I bet no one would care about his cartoonish performance as the Joker
