Tom Cruise was nominated for “Best Supporting Actor” for his role in “Tropic Thunder”. He was up against some stiff competition! Also nominated in the same category was Robert Downey Jr. (Tropic Thunder), Ralph Fiennes (The Duchess), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt) and Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight).
I was rooting for Tom Cruise of course, but I am thrilled beyond words that Heath Ledger won for his role as The Joker in “The Dark Knight”. I feel that he deserved it.
After Heath’s name was announced, he received a standing ovation. Watch the clip below.
