Do you think someone will give a speech on Ledger's behalf?

It will be the five executive producers of TDK who rode his death all the way to the bank - - they'll throw hundred dollar bills to the crowd as they sprint up to the stage on his behalf...

Maybe they'll bring up the main players (Bale, Caine, Oldman, Freeman, Gyllenhaal, Nolan) and say something along the lines of his win elevated the entire cast and production.

Yeah, I say Nolan too... mostly because he got snubbed big-time out of any noms.

Also I just realized that Heath played opposite both Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal in the 2 biggest films of his career.

Unless his parents fly in, I'm sure it will be Nolan.

It should be Bale.

But it will be Nolan.

Because no one really knows or cares about directors aside from Spielberg and a few others but most now know who Bale is.

Because he was the Yin to Ledger's Yang.

Should be her daughter with Michelle.

If the daughter can speak well, I forget how old she is, let her speak. If not, let Michelle speak.

I don't think it would be fair to put his daughter in the spotlight like that.

I imagine it will Nolan but since this is the big award, maybe his parents?

Quote:
If Heath Ledger wins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor on Feb. 22, his family will accept the award on his behalf, Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan told EW.com at the DGA Awards Saturday night. Nolan accepted Ledger's Golden Globe award on Jan. 8, and Ledger's Dark Knight costar Gary Oldman took the stage on behalf of the young actor at the SAG Awards on Jan. 25. Nolan did not elaborate on which members of Ledger's family would accept should Ledger win, but previous family statements have been made by Ledger's father, Kim, mother, Sally, and older sister Kate, and it's possible all three would step to the front of the Kodak on Oscar night. The last (and only) time an actor has won an Oscar posthumously -- Peter Finch as Best Actor for 1976's Network -- the film's screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky and Finch's widow Eletha accepted on Finch's behalf.

I hope they stick with their 45 second rule - - I can't wait to see the orchestra play them off the stage...

Now Nolan has no real incentive to go.
