That's great to hear. Thanks for posting, Mel. If it becomes a trend for folks to dedicate their awards, or whatever, to Heath, it's fine with me. 8)

Todd Haynes also remembered Heath at the Independent Spirit Awards:
--- Quote ---“I’m Not There,” the Bob Dylan biopic featuring portrayals of the singer/songwriter by actors of different ages, races and sexes, also did well, taking home the honor for Best Supporting Female (Cate Blanchett), as well as the Robert Altman Award created to honor the spirit of the directing great. As Todd Haynes accepted the Robert Altman Award on behalf of himself, casting director Laura Rosenthal and the entire cast of the film, he took the time to remember late actor Heath Ledger, one of the film’s stars.
“Honoring this amazing ensemble today is so bittersweet, given how shattered all of us are by Heath’s inconceivable absence,” said director Haynes. “I have no doubt he would have made an astounding director, and when I’m not looking bitterly or perhaps selfishly at the future of cinema without him, I treasure the time we shared on this film and the love and talent that he gave so freely.”

what a heartfelt tribute Haynes made. That was great to read.

Reading all these tributes by the directors who had worked with Heath and talked about how he would make an astounding director (Chris Nolan, Terry Gilliam and Todd Haynes) is very heartbreaking. I don't know when I'll be able to get over this immense feeling of loss.
