Sometimes it is possible to win an award when you are dead. It depends on the rules of the institution which is presenting the awards. The Academy of Motion Picture Sciences does allow posthumous winners because they are judging the performance which has been immortalized on film. Heath Ledger is the most recent posthumous winner of an Academy Award. He won Best Actor for his portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight.
