Heath Ledger was posthumously honored with the Critics’ Choice Award for “best supporting actor” after his epic role portraying the Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight.
The film’s director Christopher Nolan accepted the award on Ledger’s behalf. The win is another indication the Australian actor’s role in the Batman blockbuster may also be recognised with a Golden Globe on Monday. The Dark Knight also won in the best action movie category but the big winner at the Los Angeles ceremony was Slumdog Millionaire which received best picture, director, young actor, writer and composer honors.
