His death had something to do with it all, but it didn't. Ya know what I mean?

I do. I don't think there would have been such a push for him to be nominated/win if he didn't pass on.

He definitely deserved to win but the academy didn't give two shits about TDK other than Ledger's performance. It deserved to be nominated for Best Picture at least but oh well.

"You were a legend man."

At that exact point I was like who the fuck is this guy and why is he being forced upon me

I don't get the hype behing JGL at all. Sure, he's a capable actor, who avoided the TV sitcom curse, but that's it. The way he's talked about, you'd think he was Daniel Day Lewis.

Naboer - 8/10
The Dark Knight Rises - 10/10
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze - 8/10

This 100%

Universal Soldier: The Return (1999)

As a Universal Soldier sequel, it sucks. But as a typical, dumb, cheesy 90's Van Damme action film it's fun.

Regeneration owns it, though.

7/10

"Friday The 13th part 4: The Final Chapter".....I think this is the best entry in the series. It should have been the FINAL one too..just like the title says. Love the opening of the movie with the review of the previous 3 parts. Part 4 had a terrific group of different characters and a strong group of actors. Kimberly Beck delivers an engaging and thrilling performance as "Trish". One of my alltime fave characters in the whole series. Her ending scenes with the chasing and confrontation of Jason is sensational. All the emotion and fear Beck displayed was top notch!! Corey Feldman is awesome as the popular "Tommy". E. Erich Anderson as "Rob" was top notch too. What a handsome smoldering hunk of a man!! Love his character..and I felt so sorry for him. Notable mentions to other cast members...Crispen Glover.....Barbara Howard as "Sara"..and the lady that plays Mrs.Jarvis (Joan Freeman). Like I said...the whole cast is VERY strong...the best in the series. Alot of the murder scenes are so gory,brutal, and shocking. Love it!! Tom Savini did a great job once again with the makeup effects. Loved the meat cleaver to Jimmy's face and the killing of Jason with the machete. Ted White's portrayal as "Jason" is also wonderful and find his portrayal to be one of the most memorable and possibly the best. Suspense, awesome lighting, wonderful cinematography, suspenseful and moody atmosphere, some romance, great music score, and awesome gore all highlight the movie. Part 4 is absolutely great and has the last top rating in the series for me!!

10/10

Not so fast. There were tons of nominations for it, but it won only two. The one for Ledger and for Best Sound Editing.
Nominated further for:

• Best Cinematography
• Best Sound Mixing
• Best Editing
• Best Make-Up
• Best Visual Effects
• Best Art Direction

That's quite a lot. Yet, no Best Picture nomination at all.

Wow I didn't realize it was nominated for all of that.

I don't think it should have been given a Best Picture nomination, but it still would have been pretty cool to see a "Superhero" hero movie in that mix.
