The News Limited Readers’ Choice Award went to Heath Ledger.
So Heath won two prizes: International Award For Best Actor and Limited Reader's Choice Award.
Katie (Sue), you saw the show and you're Aussie. Am I right and what is the Limited Reader's Choice Arward?

"News Limited" is the corporation here in australia, which publishes a lot of our weekly magazines....readers from one or some of these magazines were asked to vote for this award.......

Actor Heath Ledger (centre) receives a warm welcome from Kath and Kim actress Magda Szubanski (left) and pop singer Dannii Minogue (right) as he arrives at the AFI (Australian Film Institute) Awards in Melbourne.

For those of you who are not familiar with the actress Magda Szubanski, she is a fine actress (she played the part of the farmers wife in Babe).....she also plays the part of Kath in a comedy duo, (Kath and Kim).....if you notice the red around her mouth in this pic......when she came on as a presenter at the awards, she said in her comedy routine that she got a "Heath (heat) rash" after kissing Heath Ledger on the red carpet......the cameras showed Heath in the audience having a laugh about that....when he came up to collect his readers choice award, he made reference to her comment and said "I got a similar rash when I was with Jake".....
The thing I liked about Heath, was that even though there were some quips made about Brokeback, he still managed to show that he was not embarrassed by the film (and he should not be), and took it all with a good sense of humour and respect for the film....when he accepted the International award, he thanked Annie Proulx for "writing an unbelievably beautiful story".....
All in all though, he stood out in the crowd.....even though he did look a bit uncomfortable with the whole thing....I think we sometimes forget that he is only 25 (hes still not more than a kid), and when I see him like this, affirms just how good an actor he is to be able to do the roles that he has done.

But your point is well taken. I'm glad to hear he was joking aboutthings and taking it all in stride.

Gees, I certainly got things arse about face.......27....still a baby......
and Ive also been told, I got Magda's character wrong...she plays Sharon.....
Just wanted to let those who did not see the show, that Heath did mention Jake, in fact, Jake's name got mentioned a few times thru the show.....
