Quite unfortunately Chadwick Boseman’s Emmy Nomination has led some people to compare it with The Dark Knight fame Heath Ledger’s Oscar moment. But it can’t be overlooked that Heath Ledger’s world-class performance as the insane Joker is even out of comparison. Comparing it with What If is purely irrelevant and it demeans the Late actor’s performance.
