Why Heath Ledger Does NOT Deserve an Oscar

The unanimous decision seems to be that Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar for his role as the Joker in the Dark Knight. He may have done an excellent job at this role but there is one actor who changed American History. This was Robert Downey Jr. in his role as Osiris in Tropic Thunder.
Robert Downey Jr. played a method obsessed actor who changed his skin color for the role he was playing. This role would be risky at any point in time, but especially as we had an African- American running for president. But Robert Downey got no criticism from African-American communities as with this role that could have sparked outrage and controversy.
Robert Downey Jr. completely blurred the color line the fading color line. After Robert Downey’s role there I think we will realize that there is little difference between black or white actors, they are all the same.
Robert Downey deserves the Oscar because he took on a role that could completely destroy his career. He took that role and made it into something that changed American History and possibly world history forever.
