Terrence Howard Says Give Globe to Heathus's Family

Terrence Howard Thinks Golden Globe Belongs to Heath Ledger

Now that award show season is underway and the Golden Globes have been announced, everybody is buzzing about Heath Ledger and his superb performance in The Dark Knight.

This morning the late Australian actor received a posthumous Golden Globes nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category for his acclaimed performance as the Joker in the latest Batman flick.

Hollyscoop was at the 66th Annual Golden Globe announcement ceremony this morning, where we caught up with actor Terrence Howard after he announced the nominees.

When asked if Howard thought Ledger would win the Golden Globe he said, “I'm sure he will. Even if someone else won in his category, if I had won in that category, I would give it to his family because he truly had the best performance.

"He gave more than I have seen any other actor give, he brought a new light. How do you step into Jack Nicholson’s shoes? How do you do that and stretch that? He stretched Jack Nicholson’s shoes,” he told Hollyscoop.

The Golden Globe nominations are generally a prediction of who will be nominated for the Oscars, so with Heath in the running for Best Supporting Actor, does that mean he'll be in the race for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards as well? “Oh Yes,” insisted Howard.

If Ledger does win, then he will be the second posthumous Oscar-winner after Peter Finch, who triumphed in 1976 for his iconic role in "Network." Do you think Heath deserves the Golden Globe and even an Oscar for his role as the Joker?

the interview with the baby wipes quote is ~*ONTD (and gossip in general) LEGEND*~

dali_lemur 12th-Dec-2008 12:40 am (UTC)

True. He doesn't exist anymore without that "baby wipes" quote immediately springing to mind.

tribulation 11th-Dec-2008 11:41 pm (UTC)

He deserves it.

annaed884 11th-Dec-2008 11:41 pm (UTC)

It's nice and all, but as I am reading it, I am only thinking of baby wipes.

Betraying RDJ, BITTER TEARS TERRY, BITTER TEARS.

Heath was the second best performance in TDK, the Chin for the win.

He deserves it for sure.

Heath did a great job and everything, but it's a little late to be sucking his dick so fervently. I'm sure a nice poem or something would suffice.

Jack's going to be pissed, those bitches were fucking Versace.

Rofl you made my night =)

charmingmistake 11th-Dec-2008 11:42 pm (UTC)

I hope he does win, but I feel it would only be because of pity and that annoys the hell out of me.

Give it to him if you felt his performance was amazing. Not because "He'll never get another chance". :/

grocebish 11th-Dec-2008 11:44 pm (UTC)

exactly.

jeffreyuno_1 11th-Dec-2008 11:44 pm (UTC)

The Globes will probably give it to him for that reason, but I bet the Oscars will give to to someone else.

charmingmistake 11th-Dec-2008 11:48 pm (UTC)

lol yea. negl, TDK made me a fan of Heath and I checked out his past work. He has quite some talent. But I won't be too upset (hopefully) because that just means someone else was better, you know? There are actors out there who are on, or over, Heath's level and I can accept that.

flashstruck 11th-Dec-2008 11:43 pm (UTC)

you go terrence howard~

la_petite_singe 11th-Dec-2008 11:44 pm (UTC)

I'm honestly quite torn. I loved both performances more than I can say. I guess Terrence oughta stick by his buddy, but at least he's honest.

I liked Heath's performance but hated the movie.

apothecaries 11th-Dec-2008 11:44 pm (UTC)

I will be so crazy if Heath doesnt win.

I watched the Brothers Grimm last night ;_;

truthofthewords 11th-Dec-2008 11:51 pm (UTC)

omg I love that movie I don't care what anyone says.

fancyxthat 12th-Dec-2008 12:19 am (UTC)

Me too.

arcadiaego 12th-Dec-2008 09:37 am (UTC)

Me too - it goes a bit wonky in places but its got so many good bits in it. My friend and I watched it late and night and got really freaked out by the mud Thing coming out of the well. :-P

redcurrantbasil 11th-Dec-2008 11:58 pm (UTC)

The gingerbread demon child and horse eating the girl scared me, same with turning the kitten into whipped cream.
At least it was consistent with the horror of actual fairy tales.
