Ledger wins BAFTA award for best supporting actor

The posthumous honors for actor Heath Ledger continued last weekend with his supporting actor win from the British Academy of Film & Television Arts.

The BAFTA'S are often described as the "British Oscars" and honors achievements in film from around the world.

Ledger's turn as the Joker in "The Dark Knight" has been recognized by the Screen Actors Guild and The Golden Globes.

With only two weeks to go before the Academy Awards, many are calling Ledger the favorite to win the best supporting actor prize against Robert Downey Jr. (TROPIC THUNDER) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (DOUBT).


(Editor's note: I tried to keep a lid on this but... I hope Ledger wins.)
