Brokeback Mountain Three years ago, a breakthrough role for young Perth-born actor Heath Ledger earned him a nomination for best actor at the Academy Awards. Ledger's powerful performance as Innis del Mar, a ranch hand who falls in love with rodeo cowboy Jack Twist on a sheepherding job on Brokeback Mountain - with all his passion, torment, rage and sorrow - opened our hearts, and established him as one of the finest actors of our generation. A Love That Will Never Grow Old - A video tribute to Brokeback Mountain, appears on the screen below. Matt Akersten - 24th January 2008
