Is it just me, or has the Academy gotten less, less, and less creative with nominations ever since the third LotR? Despite their "credibility," all they manage to do is nominate the movies from the big studios that are all the same; there's nothing special about them. You've seen one, you've seen them all. Besides that, Hollywood sucks this year. We might as well just give the Dark Knight everything and call it a day.

I can't be entirely sure, but if you want a half-sarcastic answer, it would be because the title of the movie isn't about him. Therefore, he is not the main.

If you want a real answer, then the only clue I could give you is to think if the character could be replaced, and if the movie would still be the same movie. In the Academy's opinion, the Joker is interchangeable with someone else.
