The Andrew Awards-Best Supporting Actor

With Best Supporting Actor, all the major Andrew Awards will be given out, though I am still awaiting release of other nominated best documentaries and best foreign films (hell, I am still waiting for two of the previous years foreign films) two categories I love.

The nominess for best supporting actor are: Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight; Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder; Josh Brolin in Milk; Mike Shannon in Revolutionary Road; and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Doubt.

And the winner is...Oh c'mon, there is absolutely no tension or question in this category. Heath Ledger wins this by leaps and bounds, no one else is even close.

Some have whispered that maybe he won because he tragically died. No. Maybe he was nominated because of that, as films like The Dark Knight do not usually get notice from the Academy. But he won because he was amazing as the Joker. And no one can say any of the other actors were cheated. They were all good, but Ledger was perfect.
