Photo by: Dark Knight/WarnerHeath Ledger was named Best Supporting Actor, Golden Globes 2009. Director of Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan accepted the award for Ledger and brought the audience to a standing ovation:
On behalf of all of us who worked with Heath on Dark Knight, I accept this with mix of sadness and incredible pride. He will be eternally missed but he will never be forgotten.
I thought Nolan's speech was so sad and very beautiful.

I am so glad that he won. He was amazing in that movie!
I am also glad he won! He is an amazing actor and is missed.
I was so happy -- tearing up while watching it. He was fantastic in that role...and many other roles he had as well. I had the pleasure of meeting him and Michelle while they were still together. What lovely people they were -- kind and polite. They used to live a few blocks away from me.
Well deserved. He was brilliant in that role.
I think he earned it.
I didnt watch but Yes Yes i wanted him to win soo bad. I always think of little Matilda.

I cannot bring myself to watch Heath in the Dark Knight. I still think that movie contributed to his death. I thought the speech Nolan prepared was canned with little expression. I will always remember Heath in A Knight's Tale and Cassanova.
Boy, did I love that man. lol While he played a phenomenal role and did wonderful in it...it made me sad to see him play such a dark role. But that just shows how talented he was. I didn't see the speech but I'm so glad he won it....
Cafe MicheleZ , I am so so jealous you got to meet him. lol
I didn't like the movie at all! i didn't like him in it & love some of his other movies & i don't see the point of him winning when he is gone.
