2008
DARK SIDE
The Oscar nod comes just after a Golden Globe win for his role as the psychotic joker in The Dark Knight, the sequel to 2005's
Batman Begins. "It's the most fun I've had with a character and
probably will ever have," Ledger said. For his mother, Sally Bell, the posthumous honor left her "bursting with pride," calling it "such a fantastic and wonderful legacy for his daughter."
