We all feel that it was Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker in "The Dark Knight" that really made the movie shine.  It seems we weren't the only ones that felt that way. 

In tonight's Golden Globe ceremony, Heath Ledger won an award for Best Supporting Actor.  The others in this category were Tom Cruise - "Tropic Thunder," Robert Downey Jr. - "Tropic Thunder," Ralph Fiennes - "The Duchess" and Philip Seymour Hoffman - "Doubt."  Often it seems that when an actor is nominated after their death, they seem to get the award in their honor.  Whether or not that was the case, he did do a superb job.  He gave us a performance of the Joker that we hadn't seen before.  It's one that we won't easily forget.

Congrats Mr. Ledger.  You did good.
