- This tremendous tribute by the AFI (Australian Film Institute) gives Heath Ledger much deserved and long overdue recognition. A BIG THANK YOU TO THE AFI FOR HONOURING HEATH LEDGER SO BEAUTIFULLY. Watch the crowd pay their respect with a standing ovation and Heath's mother, father and sister accept the AFI award on his behalf. Note: The award is being presented by Michael Caton (lead actor in 'The Castle').
Sally and Kate - bravo!! - you were wonderful... Heath would have been so proud of you... My heart goes out to you and all your family...
Everyone, please comment and share your thoughts...
Heath Ledger was something like nothing else...too beautiful for words.
Why am I putting myself through this Heath video spree..? God.. he was so beautiful in every way imaginable.
I hope Heath Ledger knew how much of an impact he had in Hollywood...He really was a fantastic actor.
A truly talented actor and a beautiful soul.
They had better award him the Oscar he deserves.
God bless Heath Ledger, it's so sad that he reached his pinnacle of acting and never truly got to show us how truly great he was. RIP Heath Ledger.
R.I.P Mr Ledger...You change my life as an actor :)
Its a waste he died. Hollywood didn't loose him. The World did.
I miss him too~ He will never be forgotten.
The Oscar is next! Heath Ledger will reign at the Academy Awards!
I never thought i would cry so much about one actor. but heath was amazing and talented and he had so many roles that were waiting for him. Australia misses him so much and he was one of our proudest actors ever! Heath, we love you and we thank you for all the movies that you've made and the person you were. we hope that Matilda will keep good memories of you and remember the man that you were. we love you!
I miss him so much. :(
My the legend live on.
No doubt in my mind that the joker was just the beginning for such an awesome talent...only 28 years old!
A well deserved award. A beautiful tribute and a wonderful speech by his family. When it popped up with him on TDK as Joker I went speechless. At that moment on this tribute, I realized even more of how he didn't even seem like himself as The Joker. Heath, you deserve this award and this tribute. You deserve an Oscar.
R.I.P Heath Andrew Ledger. You Put A Smile On My Face
R.I.P heath ledger
such is life..........
Heath looked EXACTLY like his dad.
Heath Ledger... !!!!! So awesome!
what an incredible actor...
Very sweet. The Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies and he did so good in it! I'm excited for this award season to see the awards he will receive. He deserves the Oscar and I hope that he wins!
heath's family is amazing.
such wonderful people!
He brought depth and dimension to every character, even in a lighthearted romp like the Brothers Grimm. Too many of us recognized his artistry too late.
Finally a tribute that understands him and represents him accurately. Caton is right; he would have appreciated the honor, but it would have also embarrassed him. His peers saw the side of him that made him so loved; I wish more people understood who Heath was like this.
That was very sweet. It was obviously very hard on his family to be there, especially his sister, but I don't think they would have missed it for the world. The best are never here long because God needs them even more than us. RIP Heath.
i'll never forget his Joker.
he was awesome in the patriot, monsters ball, 10 things i hate about u with joseph gordon.,
but damn the DARK KNIGHT!! he was just getting started!!
That's exactly what I'm hoping, too... so many people thinking loving thoughts of him - he must be feeling it... he'd probably blush but he'd be deeply moved...
even though i will never meet him (damn it) Heath Ledger seemed like a guy who lived his life to the fullest in a very original and beautiful way that will never be forgotten
RIP Heath Ledger
Que hermoso homenaje! Heath Ledger fue un actor excelente y una persona maravillosa por lo que se puede observar. Es una pena que haya fallecido tan joven, teniendo una hija, una carrera, pero bueno lamentablemente son cosas que pasan, esperemos que este bien, este donde este. Fue un gran actor que estara en la memoria de todos!
perfect. amazing. such a great tribute. he was such a good actor, a great actor.
tears...
It is so sad Heath is not with us any more. :(
With tears rolling down my face I said to myself "he got a standing ovation". Michael Caton did a great job at presenting for Heath. This award is one more amazing tribute to one Mr. Heath Ledger
never forget such an awesome talent
**Australia & the world loves ledger**
no puedo dejar de llorar.heath amor felicitaciones por tu premio.pero tu tenias q estar alli............
im crying..its so sad...
Thank you so much again for letting me see this..heartbreaking but thank you.
Mr. "Why so serious?" is became a Legend!
R.I.P
The best ever Joker, BY FAR! great actor
That's was scary... Looking at all of those performance when U can actualy see the actor and then watching him as the Joker... U just can't say that Joker is not real person... Damn, one of the best performences in the history of cinema.
Oh man...I cried when Sally and Kate mad their speech. Poor Kate sounded like she was fighting back any sobs.
RIP Heath, you deserve any award that you win. If only you could be here to accept them yourself.
im crying...RIP Heath!!!! you are greatly missed.
I'm spechless... i have admire Hath's mom but seeing this i admire her much more, she was so strong and my heart breack seeing Kate crying. I can't stop crying. Thank you Rosa.
Heath's death came as quite a shock 2 me, as did the death of steve irwin - another well known austrailian whose work I admired & inspired me. I could'nt believe he had died. b4 he died I had seen him iin the patriot, a knight's tale, the brothers grimm & brokeback mountain - from then on I thought god what a gr8 actor he is. And when I finally came 2 see The Dark Knight in IMAX shortly after his death, it was totally unlike anything I've seen b4. His joker will go down in history! R.I.P Heath
Well deserved Heath was an awesome actor R.I.P. Buddy :)
wow, that was emotional
R.ip heath really good actor who passed away too early... ! :(i cant stand ppl that says he won so many awards only cuz he died ... thats not true if you know something about acting and passion you should know that he gave all of himself into playing the joker... it was so passionating so living so inspiring so good and new! one of the best performence of acting if not the best ever!! thats what i think R.i.p heath ledger we will miss u!
this made me cry so much...
rip heath ledger
I know i already said thanks but watching this again i felt the need to say something.i read some of the posts here & i agree with you theres no doubt he did a fantastic job as the Joker however his body of work started yrs before that film.maybe some just saw him for the 1st time but others who call themselves fans, i wonder have they seen Clowning Around, Roar, Paws or Black Rock or his breathtaking work in Candy, Monsters Ball & The Four Feathers? Two Hands! So many. Heath was a genius
huge actor!
Thanks for uploading this
Thanks for posting . I loved his work and felt that this video embodied a lot of how I feel about him - brilliant yet modest.
heath is in my top 5 actors of all time list. he deserves all the awards. JOKER was a great achievement
RIP cutie
So sad, I couldn't help but cry. He was great & its so terrible that he had so much more potential.
Thanks for sharing this!
I CRIED.
omg i cryed all the way through that, its just so sad =,[ that was a beautiful tribute to heath, thank you for putting this on utube.
RIP heath ledger, he was an amasing actor who really did have a lot more to give.
he was a good actor r.i.p. heath i luv his role in Batman
I agree. I think Sally played an essential role in Heath turning out the way he did. I admire her strength, graciousness and positivity. I'm confident Heath watched from beyond and felt intensely proud of her and deeply touched by Kate's tears...
I'm sure it was all his voice...
I completely agree with you... Every part of me wishes that he can witness all this in spirit at least...
I love Heath ledger so much!!! He definitely deserves this award! He did an amazing job as the joker. He was an amazing actor in all the movies he was in. He left us too quick. I know that he knows that he won this amazing award...he won more then 3 awards for this 1 part. That's an accomplishment. R.I.P Heath Ledger I love you!!!!!! =D
R.I.P Heath.
what a FANTASTIC description of a WONDERFUL MAN
LEGEND.
we love u heath.... RIP and we are rooting for u to win all the awards for the protray of the Joker... we love u Heath
A gr8 actor !! stunning performer !! A gr8 joker !!
R.I.P Heath !!
this was truly a beautiful tribute and there is no doubt in my mind that he deserved that award 100%.
life is overwhelming beauty & sweetre with Heath, no award is enough for him, he'd be uncontainable if he lived a day further
Hi there... yes, it's been so bittersweet all year... I never thought it would be possible to feel so sad and happy at the same time...
they should have given this recognition when he was still alive...
R.I.P.
Thank You...you have brought me to tears...but that is alright..it was for a good cause...He soooo deserved this..Wherever he is..I hope he is watching..and feeling all our love...
im so depressed right now,i miss him soo much!
beautiful tribute though but i cant help but cry and feel sad :(
rip gorgeous!!
Thank you all so much for all the beautiful, heartfelt comments. I'd like to thank the AFI for a tribute that went far beyond of what I'd expected, after all the disappointments I had felt after previous tributes, this one for once truly honoured Heath. I feel so proud of the Australian Film Industry right now, it makes me proud to be Australian. And I have no words for Sally and Kate - you couldn't have honoured Heath better with your touching words and willingness to openly share your feelings
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy heath ?:C
Yes - it's a fantastic movie!
I'll be posting a special video within the coming hours that you really need to see...
i look forward to meeting u
rip heath
WHY SO SERIOUS???????????
Thanks for all your hard work uploading. Way to go Heathy!! A VERY special tribute. Fantastic!
OMG...u r soo correct...it just seems like yesterday
I glad he got that award he deffantly diserved it. He was the best live Joker. I heard that the actor or actors that took his place in the film he was going to be in are giving his or their money to his daughter
I completely agree with you...
No - AFI stands for Australian Film Institute.
@Chan3lprincess16 I'm the same. I hate Joker fans that probably never cared about Heath before that role and before he died. I followed his work for years and always enjoyed his perfomances. His Joker role was ok but his work in Ned Kelly, Brokeback and Monster's Ball were what he should really be remembered for.
Love it!! Thanx 4 putting it up...i can't believe i missed it!!!!
RIP Heath! :)
This made me tear :'(
He is inarguably one of the most well-rounded and diverse actors known to date.
He has taken on so many different roles and executed them beautifully (esp. Joker in The Dark Knight!)
Heath, we miss you greatly.
RIP
Even though I never knew him, I just sit here all the time and wish he still was here. I can't believe he's gone. :( That speach and all this video gives, it's just beautiful.
i really do miss him! it wasn't his time to go! he had his whole life! my heart goes out to his family
Heath, RIP and i will always love you!!!
Sad he passed away he seemed very intreresting in how he played very diverse roles....he never played one type of role.
I was not sure he would be good for the Joker but he ended up being very interesting and got the laugh down pat!
The tribute to Heath was beautifull.
It truly brought up a tear in my eye.
What a nice thing to say - thank you... Hopefully I'll be able to offer more in the future... Heath means the world to me and I wish that everyone was aware of what an incredibly special human being we've had amongst us. I'll do whatever I can to honour his memory...
Thank you for this!! Heath was an amazing actor and person and I will never forget him.
You said it beautifully and I agree wholeheartedly - thank you.
You're welcome. I actually had one up a few hours before this one but I wasn't happy with the picture quality and ended up deleting it and replacing it with this one. I couldn't wait to share it with the world...
I missed the awards last night, so thank you so much for posting this.
He was an amazing man, and currently, after watching this, my mum and I are both crying.
It was a beautiful tribute that they did.
Heath Ledger will never, ever, be forgotten.
Just wanted to say that I think Michael Caton did an absolutely marvelous job at presenting this tribute. He expressed everything so perfectly and he spoke from the heart with utmost sincerity. I think the AFI made the perfect choice with him...
I recommend you also watch 'Remembering Heath Ledger at AFI Awards 2006 (see video response). Heath is incredibly funny and endearing - it's a must-see - one of my all-time favourites...
It's low volume but the sound quality is fine. I spent hundreds of dollars on a new DVD recorder so this video would have good picture quality. I didn't know it would not pick up the sound properly... It still works find on most computers if you turn the volume up...
You're welcome :) It's a joy and honour for me to be sharing this...
