If Heath Ledger is awarded with an Oscar for best actor in a supporting role on Sunday (February 22), the trophy would go to his daughter Matilda, reports People.
"In the event that Heath Ledger should be selected as the supporting actor recipient, the statuette will be held in trust for his daughter by her mother, Michelle Williams, until Matilda reaches the age of 18," said Bruce Davis, CEO of the Academy.
There is a strong chance that the late actor’s performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight could earn him an Oscar, after winning a Golden Globe in January.
