Heath Ledger's three-year-old daughter Matilda will soon have a shiny gold memento to remind her of her late famous father.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has confirmed it is preparing to send the Oscar Ledger won last month for his iconic performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight to Matilda's mother, actress Michelle Williams, who lives in Brooklyn, New York, with Matilda.

The announcement solved the mystery of who would look after the Oscar until Matilda turned 18.

Academy spokesperson Leslie Unger, however, confirmed Williams, who lives in Brooklyn, New York, with Matilda will receive it.
