Mountain, Ledger won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for
Best Actor and Best International Actor from the Australian Film
Institute, and was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor
in a Leading Role and for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Ledger died on 22 January 2008 from an accidental intoxication
