For ''The Dark Knight'', Ledger became the second of two actors to win an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward posthumously[[note]]the first being Creator/PeterFinch, a fellow Australian, for ''Film/{{Network}}''[[/note]], receiving the [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestActorInASupportingRole Oscar for Best Supporting Actor]] (which was presented to his family). Prior to that, he was also nominated for a [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestActorInALeadingRole Best Actor Oscar]] thanks to his performance in ''Brokeback Mountain''. Due to the circumstances of his death and the films he had at various stages of development at the time, Ledger is the first actor to be eligible for an Oscar in each three consecutive ceremonies after his death (''I'm Not There'' in 2008, ''The Dark Knight'' in 2009, and ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' in 2010).
