I just read this, Kevin, and I think you’re way off base. You’re wrong about what Lewis said. I’m reading this two weeks after the SAGs and I’m still fine with what he said. You’re forgetting the stage. The SAG awards are about actors paying tribute to actor What Lewis said was that although he didn’t know Ledger, his work in Monster’s Ball and Brokeback Mountain INSPIRED him. What Lewis said completely captured the spirit of the SAG Awards. I think what he did was classy.

Oh and Neil, you forgot that the guy said we are all “f’ing retarded” not just idiots. You f’ing retard. : )

Everyone is just praising him like he was the messiah fallen to Earth and sacrificed again. When really he is the dude from A Knight’s Tale.

It’s the medias fault, really, for focusing a camera on everyone at all times. (And yes I’m aware that FSR is part of the media and yes we did cover Ledger a bit extensively, so cast whatever stones [politely] that you must)

all sarcasm aside, watching that moment at the sag awards, after i finished thinking about how touching it was, i went “shit, now a bunch of douchebags are going to say he’s doing it for publicity”….such is the way of the internet.

First of all, you could make your arguments without the use of terms like “you people are fucking idiots” and “you fucking idiot”. No one makes slanderous remarks like this about you around here.

I think what Kevin was trying to say is that he is annoyed by the fact that everyone has placed Heath Ledger on this ridiculously high pedestal. Personally, I didn’t see Daniel Day Lewis’ dedication to Heath Ledger, but I can say that there is a way that it is out of line. Had DDL said that he was dedicating his award to Ledger because he was a good friend and he was a great person, that is perfectly fine. But it seems like people a making Heath Ledger out to be this prestigious actor. He was a great young talent that had so much in front of him, which is what makes his death so tragic. But that doesn’t mean that he is a legendary screen actor. I think it is most respectful to remember people how they were, good or bad, and be mournful of what they had ahead of themselves rather than make them out to be something they were not.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Heath Ledger, as is Kevin, but I’m not going to go out there and say that he was something that he was not.

Hopefully that answers your questions. If it doesn’t, please feel free to ask more and I will try and clarify this for you…

You fucking idiot.

You fucking idiot.

I’m sure he was a nice guy, his Joker performance looks great, but out of all the people sucking his D right now, barely any actually knew him. It sucks he’s dead, but no one is dedicating their awards to the other 50,000 people who died that day.
