Scott likes Sally a little too much for his own sanity.

It's just turned 1:50pm on Sunday the 4th of January, 2009. However, Blogger will state otherwise. Regardless of my account being set to London GMT, Blogger insists on keeping me at the time zone of some random place in America (presumably). So, my post about New Years, posted in the late hours of the first day of 2009, was, according to Blogger, posted in 2008. So, apparently, I've only written one blog in 2009, this being my second when I post it. And, although it shouldn't trouble me that much, I find it really, really annoying.



Another thing I find really, really annoying is the whole Heath Ledger scenario. Let me explain: Heath Ledger's role as The Joker in The Dark Knight (you may or may have seen it) was definitely an Oscar-worthy performance. If he doesn't win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, then it will be the biggest atrocity in the Academy's history (which is saying something, seeing as American History X didn't win any awards at 1999's rape-fest), and if he doesn't even get nominated, I will instigate riots. The thing that annoys me the most about all of this (and my friends all know this already because I rant about it whenever The Dark Knight is mentioned) is that, if he does win, then a lot of cynics will disregard the award as being simply awarded because Ledger is dead. Forgetting that people were predicting he would win the award before he died, and that it is a genuinely Oscar-worthy performance, who else really deserves the award this year? The only other actor that could come close is Robert Downey, Jr, for his turn in Tropic Thunder (not that I've seen Tropic Thunder, but from what I've seen he makes a very convincing negro). Hilariously, he is predicted to be nominated for this role.

tl;dr, give Heath Ledger an Oscar.

I started this rant because I'm going to watch The Dark Knight when I'm done with this. That's right, I've got it on DVD. You may or may not have it on DVD. If you're in the latter, then HA! HA! HAHA!

We all know that drilling envy into people's heads and laughing at them is the mature thing to do. And to those of you who do have The Dark Knight on DVD, I must ask: is the '12' certificate on the side of the DVD cover a bit weird-looking? Mine is.
