He was, as an actor and a professional and a human being, one of a kind

Charles Roven, accepting Heath's BAFTA.

This award tonight would have humbly validated Heath's quiet determination to be truly accepted by you all here — his peers within an industry he so loved.

Just voted another couple of times for Heath. He's got a pretty healthy lead now :)

I wonder if they're going to do this for the other awards too - like Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress? It would obviously be our duty to vote for Jake and Michelle too ;)
