If Heath Ledger gets a posthumous oscar for playing the Joker in Batman, it's really just a case of trying to put right the wrong that he didn't win one for Brokeback Mountain, isn't it?

Why don't actors and actresses ever get the oscars for the films they deserve to?

It's all a matter of opinion I think..I didn't see Brokeback Mountain (yuck!) but I did see Dark Knight and I think he deserves the oscar even if he was alive.

Why did "Shakespeare In Love" win over "Saving Private Ryan" for best Picture? "Chicago" won also and I couldn't even finish the movie. I guess because there is a lot of very talented phags and knuckleheads in Hollywood.

To an extent. It's also because they know he's talented and would have probably won one eventually, and this would be their last real chance to give him one.The Academy is always giving people Oscars for certain films when they deserved it for others. Think about Russell Crowe getting it for "Gladiator" because they felt bad not giving it to him for "The Insider." Or Alan Arkin winning for "Little Miss Sunshine" because they knew he was getting up there and hadn't won yet. (I'm not even sure he'd been nominated since "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming.") Do you think Morgan Freeman deserved it for "Million Dollar Baby" so much as they were making up for passing him over for "Shawshank" and "Driving Miss Daisy?" And Kate Winslet is finally going to win, but it's not going to be for "The Reader" so much as "Sense and Sensibility" and "Titanic."

Oscars are often given for past work. Cher was excellent in "Mask," but won for "Moonstruck." Paul Newman was so good in "The Verdict," but won for "The Color of Money" which I feel is a Tom Cruise film!
