Good morning Heathens

I am simultaneously very happy and very sad too. A fully deserved win. Hope his dear ones will find some comfort in seeing how much he's loved and valued.
I wish he'd won for his role as Ennis too, but his role as Ennis, BbM itself, Heath himself have become a legend. Time has confirmed that.

Very well said, Paul.
I'm glad Heath won and that Chris Nolan gave such a simple, eloquent speech. Though I think it's true that Heath didn't win for Ennis because of an element of homophobia, there were other things in play, too. Hoffman was older and his name had been coming up frequently in awards nominations, so I think he also won because of the "body of work" idea. No one could have known that Heath's body of work was about to be cut off prematurely, alas. The Joker gave them a chance to make amends.
I thought the clip they chose from TDK was particularly good.

Which just goes to show that they should never take such things into consideration when deciding who should win. They should just have decided on the merits of the performance as it stands, not the career... Heath would have won for Ennis, no doubt.
And yeah, I think this award is all about making amends.
Damn, this is tough, and it isn't even January 22nd yet :'(
