Heath Ledger Academy Award Oscar Winner & Nominee On Death Anniversary

2-22-2009 LOS ANELES -Heath Ledger won the supporting-actor Academy Award on Sunday for his demented reinvention of Batman villain the Joker in "The Dark Knight," becoming only the second actor to win an Oscar posthumously

On Thursday, while comic book fans (and movie fans in general) across the globe celebrated Heath Ledger's inevitable - and well-deserved - Best Supporting Actor nomination for The Dark Knight, January 22 also holds a more somber place in film history.

One year before, to the day, news broke that Heath Ledger had tragically died of what would later be deemed as an accidental prescription-drug overdose.
