Heath Ledger wins Best Supporting Actor while Anne Hathaway and Meryll Streep splits Best Actress Plum

And while Heath Ledger winning the Best Supporting Actor title from the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards did not come as a surprise, Anne Hathaway and Meryll Streep splitting the Best Actress plum was.

It was so much as of a shock that Hathaway did not even prepared a proper speech and just went on and on thanking every person that she can think about.



"Thank you so much! Oh my God. I don't know how to win awards, I know how to not be nominated for awards. I know how to do pratfalls and wear tiaras. This is very new," she said – in obvious reference to her past roles in various Disney movies.

A christian magazine said that Hathaway, who starred in the film Rachel Getting Married, have gotten the rave reviews that is the best of her career so far.

On the other hand, the obvious choice for the Best Supporting Actor award Heath Ledger was again praised by critics and co-actors alike for his venerable performance in The Dark Knight.

In the acceptance speech of director Chris Nolan, who received the award in the place of Heath, he said, "Anyone who's seen any of the extraordinary work that Heath did knows that I can't presume to speak for him in any way, because his voice was as unique as it was original. But...I know that I speak for all of us when I say that working with him was one of the greatest experiences any of us ever had or probably ever will have."
