Oscar Race: Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger's family has arrived in L.A. recently, giving them plenty of time to prep for the upcoming Academy Awards this Sunday. Heath's father, Kim, said he might be the one doing the talking if Ledger's name is called for Best Supporting Actor (for his incredible portrayal of The Joker in "The Dark Knight") - which, from all reports, seems to be a shoe-in. I was hoping Michelle Williams would be making the speech, Heath's great love and mother to his only child, even though they weren't technically together at the time of his passing. Why not make it really interesting and have Christian Bale (Heath's friend and lead in "The Dark Knight") take the stage for the inevitable trip to the podium - I'd love to see him go nuclear on the orchestra! It's a shame the beloved actor won't be able to accept the Oscar himself, but the award will be passed on to daughter Matilda if his family should take home the coveted statue.
