handbag / Celebrity / Celebrity gossip / Heath Ledger award battle

Following Heath Ledger's posthumous Golden Globe nomination former girlfriend Michelle Williams and father Kim are said to be battling over who will collect the award should the late actor win. "Kim desperately wants to do it," a source told the New York Daily News. "But the studio and the producers would rather have Michelle receive it on behalf of Matilda - the couple's daughter." However a friend of the Ledgers isn't so keen. "Why would Michelle be involved? She had nothing to do with the movie," the friend says. "They weren't even together when he passed away. Would you have your ex-wife accept your award? And they weren't even married. Director Chris Nolan or star Christian Bale would make more sense. Michelle makes no sense. It's like those rumors that she would go to the premiere of Dark Knight. That was never in the realm of possibility."
