Heath Ledger, who's brilliant performance as the diabolical, sociopath, The Joker that made the Christopher Nolan Batman sequel The Dark Knight the blockbuster what it was, won the 2009 Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Movie.
Now the Golden Globes are traditionally a pre-cursor to the Academy Awards. Many insiders of Hollywood are saying even before this, Ledger was the top choice due to his awesome performance and dedication to the role. Don't think that this is purely a "pity" award, because of his untimely passing. Most of these same critics and pundits were praising his performance even before his tragic accident.
I DO NOT want to have to add his name to my prior "They Should Have Won" list. Man, if Ledger doesn't win a posthumous Oscar for this (there has been only one other honor of this kind, Peter Finch was awarded the statuette posthumously in 1975 for his role in 1974's Network) I'm burning down Hollywood.
