Is an Oscar next?
The late Heath Ledger was awarded the Australian Film Institute’s international award for best actor, one of Oz’s most prestigious film awards, yesterday, Saturday, for his portrayal of the Joker in the The Dark Knight.
Heath’s sister, Kate, was at the ceremony to collect the award.
Fighting back tears, Kate said, “It has been without a doubt the most difficult year, losing such a loved family member. We are so proud of him and humbly accept this award on behalf of his beautiful daughter [Matilda], whom we will cherish forever.”
