tonight Heath won best supporting actor at the Golden Globes but what a bittersweet
moment it was - i surprised myself and burst into tears, I thought how much of a loss there is
now in the film world - I hope that the award eventually ends up with Matilda so she
can know that her daddy was loved by people from all over the world - Christopher Nolan
gave a wonderful little speech while accepting the award on Heath's behalf (I hope someone
caught it on YouTube) :'( :'(

It is on youtube and I too burst into tears. I loved the speech by Chris. Nolan, about a huge hole in the future of cinema. He is a gentleman and an eloquent one at that.

Granted, she may be hormonal, but Angelina Jolie's eyes brimming with tears (in the Critics' Choice clip) gave me a bit of respect for her. Not usually a fan, but it does comfort me in a perverse way when other stars are shown to be missing or at least respectful of Heath. I was also impressed by Tom Cruise's reaction to his winning the Golden Globe - he was nominated in that category, too, and actually seemed embarassed that he was nominated for such a small, fluffy role (in Tropic Thunder, I believe it was). He was the first to stand up and sincerely applaud after Heath's name was read at the Golden Globes. Considering all the Scientology anti-drugs crap he believes in, that was really big of him.
Poor Christian Bale looked extremely sad, too. :'(
Yes, even more than the tributes at the awards last year, these wins bring it all back, don't they? :'( :'(
However, I'm so glad he's winning. I really believe that he deserves it and should have/would have won had he still been with us, too. Whenever he was not on the screen in "The Dark Knight," I wished he was. THAT'S what that calibre of powerful acting does and that's what most deserves the awards.
