Hugh Jackman On Ledger
Posted by: apathe on: February 20, 2009
Australian actor Hugh Jackman, who will be hosting the Oscar ceremony this year, wants late Heath Ledger to win the award for Best Supporting Actor. The Australia actor said he wanted a posthumous Oscar award for the late star for his villainous turn as The Joker in Batman flick The Dark Knight, say reports. Ledger has already won a Golden Globe and BAFTA award for the role from his last released movie. “I can’t hide the fact that I would really love for that honor to be bestowed upon him,” Jackman said of the late star, who was also an Australian. Ledger died from an accidental overdose of prescribed drugs in January last year. “It would be fitting and I think he deserves it,” said the actor.
