Jackman: Give Ledger Oscar

Academy Award host Hugh Jackman says he'll have his favorite on Oscar night: the late Heath Ledger for Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight. "I can't hide the fact that I would really love for that honor to be bestowed upon him," Jackman told reporters on Friday. "It would be fitting and I think he deserves it." His fellow Australian died from an overdose of prescription drugs in January 2008. Jackman also noted that this year's awards, which airs live Feb. 22 on ABC, will have a much more intimate feel than in previous years. (Photo: WENN)
