Joker is great. I'm voting for him again here, but come on. You can't sit here and tell me he wasn't hyped and "overrated" in a similar, if not grander, fashion.
Yeah ok, as a single performance, you're right, he deserved and got the Oscar, fair enough.

For the time at least. So what I mean is that, since the performance, I believe that villains and performances from actors and films that didn't win, are better and simply excel. Joker being one of them.

And seriously, no I don't believe he was hyped or overrated at all. I mean they never referred or used 'Heath Ledger's last full appearance in a film' type promotion. Yeah, his death was hyped and massive, and they referred to him as Joker and TDK as a film, but his overall life, and real life persona was more the focal point in my opinion, least that's what I got from my media intake.
