POPSOscar Buzz Mounts For Heath Ledger In "The Dark Knight" Co-star Christian Bale, who plays Batman, was quoted by Contactmusic as saying: "I do think that Heath has created an iconic villain that will stand for the ages, and of course, I would love to see him get an award.

At a naming ceremony last week, state premier for Western Australia Alan Carpenter said the $87 million (43.8 million pounds), 575-seat theatre was a fitting tribute as Ledger was always supportive of other young actors. "Heath Ledger was totally dedicated to the craft of being an actor and that's what made him successful," Carpenter told local reporters. "I think what we're doing is continuing that support for young people who want to make a career in the arts and acting, stage and in film, whatever it happens to be.
