(CNN) Heath Ledger is gone but certainly not forgotten. At Sunday's SAG Awards, the late actor received a heartfelt shout out from actor Joaquin Phoenix as the "Joker" star accepted the award for best performance by a male actor in a leading role. Ledger famously portrayed the comic book villain in 2008's "The Dark Knight" and won numerous awards, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a SAG Award. With his win, Phoenix, an Oscar nominee, is on the way to collecting the same trio of awards for the role. "Really, I'm standing here on the shoulders of my favorite actor, Heath Ledger," he said.
