Will and should - Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight
Ledger on Sunday night will become the second actor to win an Oscar after his or her death. Critics' associations from Boston to Washington have lauded his performance, and he's already won just about every supporting actor award there is, including the Golden Globe. His turn as The Joker, a villain of absolute, unquenchable evil who loves reminding Batman how they are simply two sides of the same obsession, was the engine that drove The Dark Knight to its box-office success. If an actor other than Ledger wins the supporting actor Oscar, Congress may be called on to investigate.
Watch his performance in Brokeback Mountain, for which he was a nominee for Academy Award for Best Actor for this performance, making him, at age 26, the ninth youngest nominee for a Best Actor Oscar. Brokeback Mountain snub will be the reason for his win this time!

Heath Ledger hands down should win. His performance in the Dark Knight as the Joker was beyond good. It was spot on as to how the joker would be in real life. He brought so much to the role, and it's a shame we'll never be able to see his take on the Joker ever again. He should win this, even if the movie wins no other awards (even though it should :/).
Why so serious?

Who Will Win – Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight). He would have won if he was alive, so the fact that he isn't shouldn't matter. He did an incredible job with this character, and he deserves the recognition.
Who Should Win – Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight).
I also loved Heath Ledger in the 2006 love story 'Candy.' His range as an actor was truly remarkable.

Heath Ledger will win. It an odd case of intuition based on:
- he's dead. (sorry, Darcy, this is my intuition not fact)
- he didn't win for Brokeback Mountain
- I don't think the movie will get any other major awards
- the Golden Globe award he won for Dark Knight paved the way.
I actually think Sean Penn should win for Milk, though
- he's dead. (sorry, Darcy, this is my intuition not fact)
- he didn't win for Brokeback Mountain
- I don't think the movie will get any other major awards

This will be a hot topic one for sure.
Ledger will win.
Here's an interview with Ledger talking about his role as The Joker:

Regardless of his death, a lot of folks consider his performance to have outshined the rest of the cast in the movie. In such a well acted movie, that's tough to do. I think that this movie will win and rightly so - it should win.

Even if he didn't die, I agree, he earned this award!
