Heath Ledger, appearing at a Berlin International Film Festival press conference promoting his new Aussie produced film 'Candy', surprised the overflow news conference Wednesday night (Feb 15) when he said that George Clooney deserved to take home the best supporting actor Oscar for his performance in 'Syriana'.
Heath’s co-star in ‘Brokeback Mountain’ Jake Gyllenhaal, is also one of the best supporting actor nominees.
Ledger's remark came after a reporter noted that Clooney had told an earlier news conference at the festival that he did not expect to win in any of the three categories for which he had been nominated (he's also nominated in the director and screenplay categories for 'Good Night, and Good Luck'.).
Ledger, thanked director Terry Gilliam for giving him a start in 'The Brothers Grimm', thus opening up more "interesting choices" for him.
He said that he found working in Australia on 'Candy' "incredibly liberating in the sense that it was the first film I've done using my own accent in about eight years."
When a reporter asked what the difference was for him to be making love to a woman in one film and to a man in another, he replied, "The stubble."
