Australian Heath Ledger has become only the second actor in Oscars history to win a posthumous Academy Award. Ledger, who died in New York in January last year aged 28, was the favourite to emulate fellow Australian Peter Finch – a winner for 1976 classic Network – for his performance as The Joker in Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight.
what a great actor he was. Dark Knight would have to be one of my favourites :D
it was a chilling performance!
