There is fight over Heath Ledger's Golden Globe. (Warner Image)

If Heath Ledger wins a posthumous Golden Globe for best supporting actor in his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight, the question of who will accept the award on his behalf has turned into a source of contention.

Reportedly, Heath's father Kim Ledger has his heart set on accepting the award on behalf of his late son, however the film's studio, Warner Bros., want Ledger's ex Michelle Williams to receive it on behalf of the couple's child, Matilda.

A friend of the family told Rush and Molly, "Why would Michelle be involved? She had nothing to do with the movie. They weren't even together when he passed away. Would you have your ex-wife accept your award? And they weren't even married. [Director] Chris Nolan or [star] Christian Bale would make more sense. Michelle makes no sense. It's like those rumors that she would go to the premiere of 'Dark Knight.' That was never in the realm of possibility."
