Heath Ledger's truly psychotic turn as the Joker in 'The Dark Knight' earned him a posthumous Oscar on Sunday, but not before his colleagues gave him a standing ovation and after getting a touching acceptance speech from his grieving family. The statuette is being held in trust for the actor's daughter, Matilda, until she turns 18. Ledger becomes only the second actor to win an Oscar posthumously. Peter Finch won the first for 1976's 'Network.'

Mike Myers' film 'The Love Guru' is not critically acclaimed or popular, but it is now officially award-winning. The comedy won three Razzies at the awards ceremony that spoofs the Oscars by celebrating the worst film of the year. 'The Love Guru' and Paris Hilton were the biggest "winners" at Saturday's Razzies awards.

Razzies: Honoring the Worst

'The Love Guru' >> Worst Picture, Actor (guess who), Actress (Jessica Alba), Director, Screenplay (guess who)

Paramount

'The Happening' >> Worst Picture, Actor (Mark Wahlberg), Director (M. Night Shyamalan), Screenplay

Zade Rosenthal, 20th Century Fox

The Hottie & the Nottie' >> Worst Picture, Actress (Paris), Screen Couple (Paris and Joel Moore), Director, Screenplay

Everett Collection

Jon Barren Farmer, Lionsgate

'Disaster Movie' and 'Meet the Spartans' (combined nomination) >> Worst Picture, Director, Screenplay

20th Century Fox

Al Pacino, but NOT Robert DeNiro, earned a worst actor nod for his work in 'Righteous Kill.' Al was also nominated for '88 Minutes.'

Overture Films

The ladies of 'The Women' must share a worst actress nomination. Congrats, Annette Bening, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Meg Ryan and Eva Mendes (not pictured)!

Picturehouse

The Razzie folks weren't feeling the chemistry between Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher in 'What Happens in Vegas.' The pair have been nominated for worst screen duo.

20th Century Fox

Oh, Uwe. It aint the Razzies unless German director Uwe Boll gets some sort of recognition. The auteur behind 'Bloodrayne' and 'House of the Dead' will receive a special prize for worst career achievement.

Mickey Rourke Wins at Spirit Awards, Delivers Best Speech Ever

If only there were an award for Best Acceptance Speech - in an awards season marked by repeated victories for Mickey Rourke, the 'Wrestler' star would certainly take home the prize for that. The comeback king was picked as best actor Saturday at the Spirit Awards honoring independent film - but we were just as impressed with his loving, expletive-heavy speech as his performance in the movie.
