Just a few minutes ago, Heath Ledger won the Oscar for Supporting Actor for playing the Joker in "The Dark Night". For those who don't know, Heath overdosed on prescription pills last January. His family accepted the Oscar. This is only the second time a person has won the Oscar posthumously. I think he deserved it. He was great as the Joker.

Personally I don't think he even played that good of a role as the Joker. If you are at all a fan of the comics you should understand the blasphemous performance he put on. But yeah... that's all I really have to say.

I think he deserved it, he was a very good actor, and I'm glad his legend lives on for at least a little while longer.
