Heath Ledger Golden Globe

Still rocking from the winning announcements of the Golden Globes from Sunday is the major win for Heather Ledger in his supporting role as the Joker from "The Dark Knight."

According to MTV News, "Heath Ledger emerged victorious Sunday night at the Golden Globes, winning for his portrayal of the Joker in 'The Dark Knight.' While director Christopher Nolan accepted the award on the late actor's behalf, Ledger's daughter, Matilda Rose, will end up with the Globe, according to Ledger's mother.



Actually, Sally Bell [Ledger's mother] told People.com that Matilda will get all of her father's posthumous awards.

'I should imagine that eventually it will be going to Matilda,' Bell said in an interview from her home in Perth, Australia. 'At this stage, she is only so young, but down the track, she will have all these things. It will belong to her, because she is part of him.'

Bell said she and her family learned of Ledger's win before boarding a flight, and they were 'bursting with pride.'

'It is such a fantastic and wonderful legacy for his daughter,' Bell said of the role her son 'loved.' 'Matilda will have so many people who will be able to speak to her about her father's abilities and [the] respect he had in the industry. That is such a wonderful legacy to leave.'"
