The death of Heath Ledger continues to be on everyone's mind.
Friends and family of Heath gathered in Los Angeles on Saturday night, to pay tribute to the actor. A small 30-minute service was held at Westwood Village Memorial Park, where Heath's former girlfriend Naomi Watts was in attendance. Around 8 p.m. that evening, a small group of mourners, all dressed in black, was seen in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel for a private event, People.com reports.
While accepting the Modern Master Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Cate Blanchett acknowledged Heath in her speech. "I'd like to pay special tribute to Heath Ledger who I think was an extraordinary actor and was well on his way to being a master himself," she expressed to the crowd. "We will all miss you enormously."
And, at last night's SAG awards, actor Daniel Day Lewis dedicated his award for outstanding male actor in a leading role, in There Will Be Blood, to Heath, calling him an "inspiration" and "unique." Though Daniel had never met Heath, he said he has been quite affected by the loss. "I suppose that's all I've been thinking about for the last few days," he said backstage. "I never met him. I thought he was beautiful. I just have a very strong feeling that I would have liked him very much as a man. ...I admired him very much."
