“We thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for honoring Heath’s performance in ‘The Dark Knight,” said Ledger’s family in a statement. “This nomination is deeply appreciated and is not lost on those of us who continue to love and miss him. We are so proud that our boy’s work is being recognized in this way.”
Well cool. Unfortunately, The Dark Knight was snubbed under the feature film categories.
Even though the Scream Awards won’t air until Tuesday night on Spike TV, the winners have already been leaked throughout the Internet, following the taping of the show on Sunday. The Dark Knight comes in as the big winner, and if you are a big believer in awards and want to see who else picks up a Scream Award, take the jump.

It’s no wonder Brave New World Comics won the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award at the San Diego Comic Convention. Great store tour, great ideas for what works for their store in Santa Clarita, Calif. I only wish we had something like that here.
