Heath Ledger killed himself. While
some mourn his death, the rest of us must not celebrate his faux life
by giving him an Academy Award for his disgusting role in The Dark Knight.
Awards
are for honoring the living, not celebrating the dead, and to give
Heath Ledger the highest award for dead acting is an insult to those
who choose life over death and light over darkness.
If people
want to honor a corpse — visit a gravesite and leave bushels of
flowers and ribbons — but if you want to honor the work of the living,
save your awards for those who can certainly benefit from the live
adoration of their peers.
