Online, Heather Ledger’s co-stars in The Dark Knight believe his performance is definite Oscar material. Fellow actors Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, and Gary Oldman all praised his performance in The Dark Knight at a press event last weekend.

Director Christopher Nolan marveled at Ledger’s preparation for the demented, chaotic Joker character. According to Nolan, he blended such influences as Charlie Chaplin, ventriloquist dummies, and Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange.

The only other actor to be awarded an acting win posthumously was Peter Finch for his role in Network (1976).
