Hugh Jackman took the time to bond with his kids, Oscar and Ava, while playing a game of soccer. Playgrounds can always be fun! And yes, Hugh does look sexy here! But don’t tell anyone I said that…

The Dark Knight comes out in four days…and I’m getting super excited about it. And watching all the interviews on TV they have with the cast members is exciting but super depressing at the same time. Because when it comes to talk about The Joker the other members talk for Heath Ledger. Now, Oscar talk is in the works for Heath…

Michael Caine, one of Heath’s costars, says Heath was amazing in the role of The Joker. And when it was time to share the first scene with him he was floored at the performance.

The scene involved The Joker gatecrashing a black tie party.

What shocked Caine the most was that he was chatting with Ledger quietly before the scene and the Australian was quietly spoken, but when director Christopher Nolan called “action”, Ledger instantly switched into the slithering, despicable killer.

“I think it’s a performance, at a minimum, that is going to get a posthumous Oscar nomination,” Caine, who reprises his role as Bruce Wayne’s butler, Alfred Pennyworth, said. “It must do. That performance was extraordinary. You look at Heath, or you talk to Heath, and you don’t know where the performance comes from. It’s not like he’s a big, noisy character or anything. He’s just a very nice guy and then suddenly action is called on set and bang! You think: ‘Wow’. I was knocked over by it.”

I totally agree with him. Bring on the Oscar, Heath deserves it!
