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.

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”.
PERTH, Australia – The Australian hometown of the late actor Heath Ledger named a theater in his honor Tuesday for his commitment to acting.
The $87 million, 575-seat Heath Ledger Theater in Perth is a fitting tribute because Ledger was always supportive of other young actors, Western Australia state Premier Alan Carpenter said at a naming ceremony.
Ledger died at 28 of an accidental prescription drug overdose in New York in January.
