Maggie Gyllenhaal is backing the campaign to have her late The Dark Knight co-star Heath Ledger posthumously honored with an Oscar.

Christian Bale and Michael Caine have both supported calls for Ledger to receive a gong at next year’s Academy Awards for his portrayal of The Joker.

And the actress believes Ledger deserves an award because his role was inspiring to other actors.

She tells WENN, “In order to be a good actor you have to find a place where you are free, but it’s very unusual to be absolutely free in the way that he was in this movie. It was inspiring working with him. It was such a pleasure. In a way I feel funny about thinking about Oscars when he isn’t alive, but at the same time I’m a member of the Academy and I would vote for him.”

I’m going to see Batman tonight!! I wouldn’t dare brave the lines over the weekend, so I went and saw “Mama Mia” on Friday instead.  I loved EVERY MINUTE OF IT!  It was such a FUN movie!  I can’t wait to see it again!

Anyway, I’m going to see Batman tonight at 6:30.  What did you guys think? I can’t wait!

Maggie Gyllenhaal has banned her daughter from becoming an actress – because she’s convinced Hollywood isn’t healthy for children.

The Secretary star gave birth to daughter Ramona with her boyfriend, actor Peter Sarsgaard in 2006.

And the Brooklyn-based mom admits she’s already apprehensive about her daughter’s career path as she approaches her second birthday.

Gyllenhaal says, “I kind of try to keep her out of this kind of (showbusiness) stuff. It’s not really good for kids. I know it’s like such a cliche… I really hope she does something else. I love what I do but I don’t want to bring her around all of this stuff.”
