Heath Ledger Certain To Win Golden Globe Award For Best Supporting Actor

If top UK bookmakers are to be believed, then actor Heath Ledger who died even before his portrayal of the "Joker" in "The Dark Knight" came in front of the world is going to win the Golden Globe Award for the Best Supporting Actor category without any competition. Bet365 have him listed at odds as low as 1/7 to win the Golden Globe. Philip Seymour Hoffman who won Oscar for Best Leading Actor in Capote in 2006 is the second favourite at 10/1. Critics favourite Ralph Fiennes is the third in this list at 14/1 for his role in The Duchess. The other two nominees are Robert Downey Jr at 14/1 and Tom Cruise at 18/1 for War spoof Tropic Thunder. However, it is highly unlikely that any of the nominees would be able to displace Heath Ledger. He is such highly favored to win the Golden Globe that the debate has shifted to who would receive the award on his behalf instead of who will win the award.
