  Heath Ledger's is so strong to get up there and be able to accept that award so eloquently. I'm sorry we lost such a gifted actor. My prayers are with his family, his daughter and his ex.

  Poor those who competed with a dead man who died of a drug over dose... Why was he with a lot of drugs anyway at such a young age?

  He only won because he is dead. Yes I said it and its about time some one did. Every body knows you will loose to a dead man everytime.
