I'm watching the Golden Globes right now, and just saw this! That was soooo awesome! Congrats to him, though may he rest in peace. Congrats to his colleagues and family then. :clap:

Yes! I found out about this when I got home from work. I was so happy. I got to watch it on youtube. Congratulations to his family and everyone who worked with him.

I just browsed through YouTube and found that Heath has also won a SAG (Screen Actors Guild), BAFTA and Critics Choice award for his role in The Dark Knight. Since seeing this, and as Oscar night comes closer, does anyone have any feelings about Heath Ledger if he does win the Oscar (and I really hope he does!)?

Well, it's official: Heath Ledger has won the 2009 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight, making him the second person in Oscar history to win a posthumous Oscar since Peter Finch won Best Actor for Network in 1977, and (as I just found out), the second Australian to win it!
