Heath Ledger Wins Best Supporting Actor Motion Picture - Golden Globes 2009 

I hate how some people look back at this like “he only won cause he died” his performance as the joker was one of the best villains I’ve ever seen RIP

And no one’s gonna talk how Tom cruise stood up to respect

lol comment section filled with people talking like they know rdj personally.

_"Don't let anyone ever make you feel you don't deserve what you want."_ *~ Heath Ledger*

It is weird to call it a support role.. He was like the main villain and stole the whole movie.

If Heath ledger is alive He would have the biggest fan following in the world for sure

RDJ had mixed feelings about this. He told me last night in the bath.

“Who else is here after Nolan won Best Director.” -Literally everyone watching this in 2024

RDJ was thinking to himself that could’ve been me ....not winning the Oscar but the dying at a young age by an accidental drug overdose , early in life he was that young actor almost lost to soon

RDJ was not disappointed... He was obviously thinking, "that could've been me that died from overdose." I believe Heath's death not only helped RDJ turn his life around but become more mature and humbled to not turn back to the one thing that took his friend

“He will be eternally missed but he will never be forgotten” Nolan. He’s right

I’d call Christian Bale the supporting actor from that movie.

The thumbnail really did RDJ dirty.

Insane to come back after nolan's speech today, he said his eyes locked with rdj while he was up there and rdj gave him a look of love and support, all while people in the comments are saying he was jealous

Heath didn't play the Joker, he WAS the damn Joker. I've never seen anyone act like that in all my days. Ledger, we love you man.

"He will be eternally missed, but he will never be forgotten." -Christopher Nolan

It makes me so sad how Nolan during his speech kept glancing down at the award he was holding like he didn't deserve to have it in his hands. He wanted Heath back so much in that moment to experience his accomplishment, and he felt unworthy to stand in his place. They had such a special bond.

*It is sad to know that the actor was not there to receive the Oscar.*

"If you're good at something never do it for free" - Joker(Heath leger)

Who’s here after Nolan won Best Director?

He died a Joker. The best Joker we have and will ever see. EDIT: It is objective to decide who's the best. Heath gave in his all to the performance, and it shows. Mr. Phoenix is one of the most expressive actors out there, and he's undoubtedly going to do a great job. I am, in fact, an admirer of all his works. Jack Nicholson's version was brilliant for his time. What I mean to say is, that Heath was a gem, and one must not disrespect his work in the wake of other also earth-shattering performances. RIP Heath. I hope Mr. Phoenix will carry your legacy forward, make you proud.

Is no one gonna talk about Kate Winslet’s reaction? She looked very sad.

People are easy to criticize Tom Cruise but he showed his class there.

Heath ledger the best joker ...... Nobody could ever beat him as a joker role....... Legend for a reason

RDJ reaction is a disappointment of a great guy he loves, died because of drugs.

This comment section totally forgot. Let's take a moment to appreciate the Heartfelt appreciation towards Heath Ledger from Tom Cruise

10 years later and here we are ladies and gentlemen .

That was a good speech.

After 2019 Joker movie Rdj : ah shit.. here we go again

RDJ looks torned and like he is holding in tears, and feelings of knowing what Heath went through....he doesn't look pissed off or mad

and he hasn't been forgotten

Nobody: RU-vid: Here watch this vedio from 2009 in 2019

Came back here after this legendary director win his own Golden Globe. Deserved it!

do people realize,,, that's rdj normal expression? plus he was heath's friend? lmao

Also here to see the supportive look of Robert Downey Jr. to Nolan, after Nolas latest acceptance speech?

Did anyone notice the calm manner of Nolan?You can give a respect to person without being melodramatic.soothing speech.Love for Prince Heath.

Such an emotional speech by Nolan... This is true friendship and after 7 years its still hard to watch

Nolan referenced this tonight at the Golden Globes, and particularly how Robert Downey Jr. gave him an encouraging look during this speech.

Heath Ledger was a phenomenal actor. And Christopher Nolan is a first class gentleman and fantastic director.

It's sad that Heath doesn't know that he won an award and was so loved and missed by so many people 💔😢

Who else is here after Nolan's speech at the Golden Globes yesterday?💪❤️

He will be eternally missed , but never be forgotten... Years passed away but still those charismatic perfomance lives in our heart till this date and many more years too ❤️❤️🔥

And then 14 years later....

Every time I watch the Dark Knight, I take away even more respect for the talent this man possessed. I think of the roles he would have had since then and what brilliant twist he would have added to them, had he not been taken from us at such a young age. RIP Heath Ledger.

We will never know what a Dark Knight Rises could’ve been with Heath playing the Joker. I can’t even imagine. And it hurts.

The Dark Knight and Ironman came out in the same year! DC and Marvel's most important movies that broke the barriers and showed what comic book movies could achieve. What a full circle moment to see Chris Nolan onstage and RDJ right there, and then 15 years later they would both win awards for the same movie at this event.

Who is here after Golden Globe 2024?

Aside from Philip Seymour Hoffman, none of the other actors nominated for Supporting Actor was worth it. It was a no brainer that Heath won whether he was alive or dead.

For those who pointed out RDJ look, Chris just mentioned today in his speech after wining his Golden Globe the look of empathy RDJ gave him when he was talking here. 😢

Everyone is holding back tears, the reason RDJ acts like that is because he tries to look away and not cry in public.

And 14 years later, Christopher Nolan wins the best director for the movie Oppenheimer

RIP Heath Ledger, he was a legend!! 😭🙏

Who's hoping that Joaquin Pheonix will win the Oscar?

Someone else here after nolan's speech in the golden globe?

RDJ: Bored as fuck Tom Cruise: ANGRY AS FUCK ABOUT TO STAB SOMEONE

Christopher Nolan won tonight. Brought me back to this. Crying niw

So deserved. One of the best performances ever. Nolan deserved a Award for Directing as well.

I came here from his 2024 Best Director speech.

i think kate winslet was the saddest of all both here and in the oscars

I hope Heath never sees how terrible Jerod Leto’s joker was.

RDJ might lose to another Joker this year if he gets nominated. Just saying 😄

Tom Cruise has the look of "I cant believe I actually got nominated for that"

I don’t get how anyone would say someone else deserved it... it’s just one of the best performances in history. With such nuance depth!

It is so sad watching all the celebrities' faces almost crying..

That was a beautiful speech rest in peace Heath

Rdj is sad cause he lost a wonderful man to his worst enemy

What people don’t realize RDJ was in the exact position as Heath years ago and almost died because of it. BUT the way he put his life around and got help. That is what makes me love him even more. So glad that he got help and is loved even more by everyone including the young kids , teens and young adults. RDJ was remembering his dark days and he knows exactly what Heath was going through. 😔😭 that is what hurts and makes me emotional. P.s- I love that TOM cruise got up and started clapping. That was amazing 😭💖

I'm so glad that Nolan didn't go on. It would've been so easy to make it his show, but he spoke on Heath's behalf, not for him. True gentleman.

RIP Heath. You portrayed my favorite actor performance

all these years later it still holds up. man deserved every bit of recognition he got and more.

HE TRUELY DESERVE

Good to hear Christopher Nolan speak about him, such a sad reality to have him gone so soon.

Wow i didn't know people knew Rober Downey Jr. so well, very weird indeed

One of the greatest performances in cinematic history

2018 and we still miss you Heath

"Why So Serious?" Now I understand

I'm glad to Christopher Nolan win!!!

Robert Downey Jr. Face Makes me cry

Tom Cruise standing up and clapping like that shows his respect for another actor who gave everything to be committed to their craft, would have loved to see the two work together one day.

You could feel the loss and the sadness on everyone's faces. Wow.. he really left his mark.

Many are saying he got this award out of pity. But if he was still alive he would have gotten that award anyways, for the best performance that year.

*Who is getting recommended to this in 2019 OCT*

Who is watching this after Christopher Nolan won the Golden Globe for Oppenheimer

If The Dark Knight wasn't made, Tom Cruise would have definitely got the award.

Such a MAN Nolan’s speech.💔

Heath is still making $$$, dude wins an Oscar after he dies RIP.

Whether he died or not we all agree he should have won regardless

He does at 28.....so fucking young!!! People act until their 60s imagine how much more awards and a bigger legacy he would have made, he would be 39 or 40 this year n those r the pinnacle years for actors, this when they take their careers to a legendary status, if heath didn’t pass he would be known as potentially the best actor the world has seen n I’m not exaggerating, this guys had soo kuch potential

He will never be forgotten he said of Heath Ledger and... 14 years on, Christopher mentions Heath and this moment in his own golden globe win for Oppenheimer 😢

AND NOLAN FINALLYS WIN

Rdj almost teared up when he heard Heath’s name. 😢 RIP

Why does RDJ looks like he just wake up from a bed

Nolan is the pure embodiment of class humility and eloquence in addition to his stunning artistry

Heath Ledger: Even in death, I'm the winner

Still watching in 2019... RIP Mr. Ledger

Hats off to Heath Ledger. Amazing actor gone too soon

RIP Heath Ledger (April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008), aged 28 You will always be remembered as a legend.

“But he will never be forgotten”

Rip Heath You will be missed. From the patriot to Dark knight. He was a young actor but loved by many.

Heath did an amazing job as the joker and he was (And Still Is!) a huge part of my life ; ( R.I.P b.b boy 😢
