Awards for memorizing lines.Good grief.🙄 How about awards for teachers, surgeons, soldiers and astronauts. They should get this level of hype and reverence.

They're sad cause they all knew who killed Heath. That dude didn't OD, he was murdered for not towing the Hollywood line.

As he should have. Great acting as the wildest, most erratic, terrifying, Joker ever. He was and will continue to be the one of our best actors we will ever have. Still missed. 🙏🏼

I loved him from the first time I saw him in Roar on TV. I followed his career to a T! We lost a true actor. He was gone too soon. I was devastated when the news came that he had passed away! My friends called to make sure I was OK. RIP Heath!

His performance was so spot on and amazing that no matter how many more Batman movies are made. The Joker should never again be the villain. That is Ledgers legacy. No one has done it better, and never will.

Such a shame that he did not get to see the outcome of the most amazing performance of his career, and he had done some incredible films prior to this one many people say believe that that was the role that broke his mind and fractured it in many pieces he literally became The evil joker and what seems to be so effortlessly for him on the outside fractured in fragmented his mind.

This was so sad. He was so young and talented. People really need to know how some simple over the counter meds mixed with a cocktail of prescribed drugs will kill you. He just wanted to sleep. I know that feeling and you are so desperate you will try things. 🙏🏼 RIP Heath 💕
