Matilda Rose Ledger is such a little character! You know she is going to be a class clown in school and hopefully at some point her mom, Michelle Williams will let her get into comedic acting because she looks like a natural!

Seriously how adorable is Matilda, her mom and Spike Jonze? I wish I was kid again just so I could fly like her! Wasn’t that like one of the funnest things to do when you were kid?

The late Heath Ledger continued his awards sweep Sunday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

He was named best supporting actor for his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

Costar Gary Oldman accepted the award.

“I am quite emotional,” Oldman said. “It is a great honor to be asked to accept this on behalf of Heath. He was an extraordinary young man with an extraordinary talent, and it is wonderful that you have acknowledged that and honored that talent tonight.

“On behalf of Heath, his family and his family on The Dark Knight, I thank you.”

On Jan. 22 - the first anniversary of his death - Ledger received an Academy Award nomination.

“Although we would love to have him here with us, we are so proud and so excited on his behalf,” his sister Ashleigh Bell said. “In Heath’s words, he had the time of his life portraying the Joker and said that it was the most fun he’d ever had working on a film.”

The Golden Globes turned emotional Sunday night, with the naming of Heath Ledger as best supporting dramatic actor for his role as the Joker in the summer blockbuster The Dark Knight.

Presenter Demi Moore announced that a brief clip of Ledger’s work in the film had been prepared. Afterwards, Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan accepted Ledger’s posthumous award, and said he did so with “a mixture of sadness and incredible pride.”

Nolan said that rather than dwelling upon the gap left by Ledger’s death he preferred to concentrate on “the incredible place in the history of world cinema he built for himself.”

In another emotional moment, Sally Hawkins, acclaimed for her role as a North London schoolteacher in the comedy Happy-Go-Lucky, was named best actress in a comedy or musical – over as she called them, such “goddesses”] as Meryl Streep, Frances McDormand and Emma Thompson.

As a tearful Hawkins became choked up on the stage, Thompson flashed her hand signals to make sure she was okay.

Just before, British comedian Ricky Gervais cracked up the crowd when he reminded the evening’s supporting actress honoree Kate Winslet, for The Reader, that she’d win if she did a Holocaust movie. (That was the plotline of Winslet’s guest appearance on Gervais’s HBO series Extras).

The Jonas Brothers presented the best animated feature Globe to the makers of Disney-Pixar’s WALL-E.

Jennifer Lopez Starts the Show
Jennifer Lopez kicked off the show by presenting the night’s first award. “Hello! Mama talking! Mama talking!” she said as she tried to quiet the crowd to read the names of the nominees.

Within a minute, “Mama” announced the evening’s first winner, Kate Winslet, as the best supporting actress, for The Reader. In it, Winslet plays a German woman with a hidden past for her activities during World War II.

Clutching her trophy and unwrapping a sheet of paper, Winslet explained the length of her speech by saying, “I have a habit of not winning.”

To her husband – and Revolutionary Road director – Sam Mendes, she said, “I’m sorry I was so mental at the end.” Then, she waved to her two children, Mia and Joe, and said, “Look, I won!”

Bruce Springsteen, winning for his best song from The Wrestler, said laughing, “This is the only time I’ll be in competition with Clint Eastwood. It felt pretty good too.”

In the small screen division, Anna Paquin was honored for her leading role as a vampire lover on the HBO dramatic series True Blood, while Gabriel Byrne – who wasn’t at the ceremony – won as best actor for his starring role on the same network’s In Therapy.

Back to the Glitz
Billed as “the glamorous return of the Golden Globes,” Sunday night’s 66th awards ceremony, airing on NBC, brought an influx of stars to the Beverly Hilton Hotel’s grand ballroom for a champagne banquet – a stark contrast to last year’s scaled-down telecast owing to the Hollywood writers’ strike.

Last year’s situation also prevented Steven Spielberg from being presented the Cecil B. DeMille Award for career achievement, an omission to be rectified this year.

Paul Karslake has done it again. This time the man whose painting was Johnny Depp’s inspiration for Pirates of the Caribbean has captured Heath Ledger’s Joker. His painting is as haunting as Heath Ledger’s portrayal in The Dark Knight. 

Well done once again Paul!!!

Want to live in the apartment where Heath Ledger died? You can. If you have $26,000 a month you can rent the 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom apartment where Heath Ledger died. For the privilege of living where he died, you will be paying $4000 a month more than he did. Hell, it does come with a wood burning fireplace so that extra $4000 is probably worth it.

Look, I know apartments are tight in New York and I’m sure someone will rent it really quickly, but it wouldn’t be me. If I had $26,000 a month, I think I would find a different place to rent. Sure, people would want to come over and have a morbid curiosity, but they are not the ones who have to spend the night there. I don’t know if Heath would haunt the place, but from what I understand, don’t people who have been murdered or killed themselves or died under unusual circumstances in their homes come back to those homes? I mean it isn’t like they would decide to hang out at a Motel 6 on the side of an interstate. I mean if ghosts could haunt wherever they wanted don’t you think the women would go to Daniel Craig’s house and the guys would go hang out with their favorite porn star.

And, just for the sake of argument, lets say the apartment wasn’t haunted, don’t you think that every night when you were trying to sleep, that you would be listening for that kind of thing. Every bump, or groan or strange sound is going to cause you to jump up and turn on the lights. You will talk yourself into it being haunted. Images of The Dark Knight will run through your head constantly because you know every friend who comes over is going to want to watch the film right there. They aren’t going to watch something light and fluffy like A Knight’s Tale. Nope, they are going to want full on intensity, while you just curl up in a corner in the fetal position and mumble “don’t kill me Mary-Kate.”
