HE’S GOT MY VOTE
12.10.08
Paramount has unleashed their viral “Kirk Lazarus for Best Actor” campaign, but I seriously think Downey deserves Oscar consideration. Your move, Ledger. Sorry, poor choice of words. But basically it comes down to a guy in clown face versus a guy in black face. I bet the Hip-Hop Magician is totally kicking himself right now.

Never go full Oscar retard.
This would be the only way I’d want someone to beat Ledger. But they’d have to get Sean Penn to award it to him.
No way Downey wins, the Academy has never done anything that cool nor will they ever.
I put on blackface and as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, I was arrested for possesion of crack cocaine…..
im not gay….but i’d blow Downy, im just sayin. He’s that good.
fuck you “e”
Downey was the only redeeming factor of Tropic Thunder. The only.
There, I said it. Not that great of a movie.
ledger’s too dumbfounded to responded.
wait…
im not gay….but i’d blow Downy, im just sayin. He’s that good.
Yeah, that bear sure is cute.
[serious]
The academy totally hosed RJD by not giving him the Oscar for Chaplin. (Really Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman, Hooo AAAYYYH) Give Heath some dead guy Oscar or something. RDJ >>> HL.
[/serious]
Personally, I still think Ledger deserves it more than Downey, but I think it would be awesome if they let Kirk Lazarus accept the award for Ledger.
Oh, and RDJ doing the commentary on the DVD in character, comedy gold. Even if you don’t remember the line, “I don’t break character until I finish the DVD commentary.” from the movie.
‘responded,’ in the future actually means, ‘respond’
fuck you guys
I don’t break character until the cops show up and start asking questions about all the missing hookers and why is there a white panel van in my garage with no plates and blacked out windows.
If Heath Ledger wins the Oscar, they’ll let Jake Gyllenhaal accept it; he’d been accepting things of Ledger’s for a few years now.
Do you think RDJ looked at the tox report from Heath Ledger’s autopsy and thought to himself, “Yeah, you know, dinner does sound good right about now…”?
No inkyPee, I think RDJ looked at the tox report and giggle “pansy” under his breath.
*Channeling Glenn (and Burnsy today)*
I don’t think Robert Downey Jr. got to view Heath Ledger’s Tox Report.
Eh, I don’t know about this. I think the blackface may be offensive to some people. What about something nice like George Clooney in Leatherheads or Adam Sandler for Bedtime Stories?
Personally, the sideburns are a bit much for me. I prefer a clean cut look.
But I trust the Academy to make the right decision. After all, they voted for Shakespeare In Love and that movie was full of whimsy.
I once knew this guy – he was a crude bully. He used to smack me around in high school, every other word was ‘fuck’, smoked, drank, skipped classes… Then he broke his neck in a diving incident. He made a full recovery.
When I went to visit him in the hospital (we became friends despite the bullying) he declared that he turned to God, and was now dedicated to being a good person. Completely changed him forever. As far as I know, he’s still on the “righteous” path.
So, my question is, was the lifeguard not on duty, Burnsy?
I haven’t been swimming in ages, Mr. Soup. The chlorine burns my eyes something fierce.
You never go full Negro
*packs up for the day, flips everyone the bird*
Heath’s Joker: A relatively uncomplicated character (motivation, fuck shit up) though a memorable one and well played. Playing a crazy guy/villian is easy as playing a retard and undeservedly lauded.
RDJ’s Kirk: Layered like a bonobo orgy. He has to play a pretentious Oscar hound, playing a black dude, while playing that character bad enough to be an excellent cliche like you would expect from an Oscar hound.
Fucking brilliant.
Cuz he nailed it.
I think Burnsy is having Red White and Dude withdrawals. I fucking know I am. I poured my heart and soul into the 5 or 6 comments I made there. Now I have to curb stomp kittens to fill the void left in my life.
Downey or Ledger should win, but Sean Penn will get it. Hollywood loves to give Oscars to straight guys playing queer.
A good year for Robert. So how come Val’s career wasn’t resurrected by Kiss Kiss Bang Bang too? My bad, there was that Knight Rider thing. Having had a glance at Val’s imdb i see there’s going to be a Heat video game. Could be cool.
Now, knowing that RDJ’s portrayal was much more demanding, and as we all know a comedy role, which is decidedly more difficult than a simple dramatic one, it would be a certanty that he would get the Oscar, assuming that is, that Hollytardland is a meritocracy and not filled with sanctimonious douchenozzles.
In other words, Heath’s Oscar party is gonna suck, even though he won.
-and an i and fuck off
C-Dog. I won’t argue that Downey nailed a complex role, but It’s not really easy to play a super-crazy villain. See nearly every 80s B-Movie for reference please.
Kieth Ledger is really hoping for a typo.
Sorry fucker, I don’t type the “winner is” cards.
Hollywood just doesn’t take comedies seriously. Even when Woody Allen was gold he complained that he wasn’t sitting at the grown ups table. Dick.
I agree, it’s hard not to come off as cheese, unless you are aiming for it like Nicholson did. But(twipe) it should have been a walk on part for an actor of Heath’s skills. I loved Heath’s Joker, I was rapt everytime he was onscreen. But I just think RDJ nailed a much more difficult part, playing a serious guy in a comedy, seriously, and having it come off as comedy platinum, is harder than a sociopath. Therefore he should get the golden buttplug.
Dead always wins. Its not like he will get another chance.
I think CB, that they are less, not taking comedies seriously, so much as, worried that if they take comedies seriously, then they won’t be.
Good point, C-Dog. Either way, I’d be happy with one of them winning. Now, put the rabbit suit back on and start humping those goats. This Donk & J in the Morning with C-Dog Christmas Special DVD isn’t going to finish itself!
Wait, the Oscar is a golden butt plug? Now we know where Chode and Dubs have been while they’ve seemed so absent from FD . . . acting classes.
Yeah, Vernon Wells didn’t even get a mention for his portrayal of Bennett in Commando. A benchmark role, like Hamlet and Red Jumper Away Team Guy that can define any young actor’s talent.
With the exception of many technical awards wins, achievement awards, and many many nominations, the only posthumous award given was to Peter Finch in Network.

{pulls on rabbit suit}
Hey?! Is this hole under the tail so I can take a dump without taking the suit off? How convenient…
{outside of the muffled envrons of C-Dog’s suit, the sound of a strap-on getting lubed can be heard}
..really, that should be a big time saver…
Gotta go…
…damn, and I was working up to a sodomy crescendo there, too.
{snaps fingers, walks off}
Channels the little indian guy from 40 Year Old Virgin-
GO FUCK A GOAT!!!
JHC… the knife wielding murdering Indian guy?
Am I the only one positive that the Academy will give the Oscar to the guy in white face rather than black face…
Racism.
That guy in gay face probably won’t win.
they should exsume Ledger and wheel him up to except the award. that would be touching.
“Exsume”? Misssssoultaker?
They couldn’t exhume Jessica Tandy’s husband for an award because he already was an ex-Hume.
Sean Penn walks up to the stage to receive the award and he said, “I want to thank Christopher Nolan, production crew, and WB for giving me this opportunity”
Sean Penn is possessed! We need exorcist!
Heath Ledger is dead?
