Heath Ledger wins posthumous Oscar
Heath Ledger won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the Joker in the Dark Knight.
Ledger’s parents and sister accepted the award on their son’s behalf and said that his 3-year-old daughter, Matilda would receive the award.
The family hold a speach, and here is what father of the star Kim Lhad to say:
Kim Ledger: First of all, I have to say this is ever so humbling. Just being amongst such wonderful people, such a wonderful industry. Firstly, I’d like to thank the Academy for recognizing our son’s amazing work, Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan in particular, for allowing Heath the creative license to develop and explore this crazy Joker character. To Steve Alexander, Heath’s mentor, special friend and agent for 10 years. We love you, Steve. This award tonight would’ve humbly validated Heath’s quiet determination to be truly accepted by you all here, his peers, within an industry he so loved. Thank you."
