&#34;As you may recall, the  announcement of last year&#8217;s Oscar nominations was quickly overshadowed  by the tragic news that broke later that same day: Heath Ledger,  the actor best known for his Oscar-nominated performance in Brokeback  Mountain (2005), had been found dead of an accidental drug overdose at  the age of 28.
