BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Heath Ledger won the supporting-actor Golden Globe on Sunday nearly a year after his death, earning the prize for his diabolical turn as the Joker in the Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight."

The award was accepted by "Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan, who said he and his collaborators were buoyed by the enormous acclaim and acceptance the film and Ledger's performance have gained worldwide.

"All of us who worked with Heath on 'The Dark Knight' accept with an awful mixture of sadness but incredible pride," Nolan said. "After Heath passed, you saw a hole ripped in the future of cinema." The Globe win boosts Ledger's prospects for the supporting-actor honor at the Academy Awards, whose nominations come out Jan. 22, the one-year anniversary of the actor's death from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs...

I hope this is a good sign for things to come.

Given how the Oscars have behaved over the past couple of years i'd like to think that they will take this opportunity to award Ledger as a nod to the movie going public. Then they can get on and award as many Oscars to films people havent seen/liked as they want because i'll be happy.

I'll be upset if TDK doesn't win best picture, even though I already know that it won't.

Seeing as how gay GMF went for Ledger and TDK, yeah, I'd say it does. Faggot.

Well all I can say is that I am really happy he got it... he deserved it the way he portrayed the Joker. Kudos!
