LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The late Heath Ledger was honored on Sunday night, as the actor won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in “The Dark Knight.”
Director Christopher Nolan accepted the award on Ledger’s behalf.
“All of us who worked with Heath accept this award with an awful mixture of sadness but incredible pride,” Nolan said. “After Heath passed on, you saw a hole ripped in the future of cinema. But with the extraordinary response to his work that we’ve seen all over the world, I, for one, start to look a bit less at that gap in the future and a little bit more at the incredible place in the history of cinema he built for himself with his talent and his dedication and his artistry.”
“For any of us lucky enough to work with him, for any of us lucky enough to enjoy his performances, he will be eternally missed but he will never be forgotten,” the director continued.
Heath Ledger’s last known residence is officially for rent.
The loft apartment in SoHo where the “Dark Knight” co-star died in January – and where Mary-Kate Olsen’s bodyguards curiously arrived before the medics – has been spiffed up and listed for $26,000 a month.
In February, we reported the place was being quietly shopped around – for more than the $22,000 that Ledger paid – just a few weeks after his demise.
“You don’t wait around in a hot rental market like this,” said one broker at the time. “As ghoulish as it sounds, people will rent that place in a heartbeat.”
Or, perhaps not.
Ledger began renting the fourth-floor unit at 419-421 Broome St. last September after finishing his Joker role. It includes three bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms, an office, a laundry room, a gourmet kitchen and an 80-square-foot balcony. Also featured are 15-foot tin ceilings, exposed brick walls and a wood-burning fireplace.
LONDON – Batman star Christian Bale was to be questioned by police over allegations he assaulted his mother and sister the night before the European premiere of his film, “The Dark Knight,” British media reported Tuesday.
His mother and sister reportedly complained that the 34-year-old actor assaulted them at a west London hotel on Sunday.
Britain’s Press Association said they made the allegation at a police station in south England on Monday and that the allegation was passed on to Scotland Yard in London. It said questioning was expected Tuesday.

This footage from Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming sequel to Batman Begins was shown in December before Imax screenings of I Am Legend. It features a set of sinister men in clown masks who attempt to pull off an outrageous bank raid while snarling to themselves about a new criminal who’s terrorising Gotham City: a make-up wearing weirdo who goes by the name of The Joker.
The quality is poor here but it’s still well worth a look. And do it now, because the last time this footage hit the web, it was gone before you could say “Bruce Wayne”.
