It was only a matter of time before Heath Ledger and bushfires found some point of conflation. We await confirmation that Heath’s ability to dig so brilliantly deeply into character was a hitherto unseen manifestation of the Aussie spirit. As The Australian reports:
Before leaving for the US, Kim Ledger said a win could bring a bit of light to Australians in the wake of devastating bushfires in Victoria.
“Given the tragic circumstances of the last 10 days with the fires, maybe we can add a little spark of light to everybody if he manages to bring it home,” he told the Ten Network at Perth airport.
The spokeswoman said the family was relaxed ahead of the awards ceremony.
The circle closes. Hallelujah.
