"This is as close as I'll ever come to winning an Academy Award!" - while spending a day in town with parents, being given a lolipop by a department store manager in 1961
+John Sobkowiak - I totally agree with you! His internalization everytime hes doing his act is over the top. Not only on this performance but also on his other films. AMAZING!
I'm always at a loss for words whenever I see DDL as himself. Soft-spoken, sweet, humble, Englishman who I couldn't even imagine would be playing characters like Plainview and Bill the Butcher. He's the absolute best actor of our time.
He's not always like Plainview or Bill the Butcher in film either look at The age of Innocence it's a beautiful Scorsese film. The Boxer is a sensitive Character too etc.
Paul Dano was just as awesome in There Will Be Blood. We knew DDL put on a mesmerizing performance, but Paul Dano stood toe-to-toe with an acting legend.
I don't get into these awards shows, but when it comes to Daniel Day-Lewis I will gladly make an exception. He is quite possibly the best Hollywood film actor ever.
I truly can't imagine any sane person that understands acting and film at the least to respect that.I can understand if you think it's someone else because there's a lot of great actors in the history of film and a lot of them are still alive, but you cannot argue he isn't the most dedicated along with Dinero and Bale....but Bale to me isn't in the same league as Dinero and DD-L....in regards to the best right now Dicaprio is in the discussion but I just think DD-L is better, and his resume is spotless as far as I know
He's actually more dedicated than Dinero or Bale because he doesn't take on every crappy role that's offered to him and big block buster movie roles and comedies that don't challenge him. Day Lewis hasn't done a great number of films but everyone he has been in he's done splendidly. Dinero has been in so many movies it's ridiculous. He phones most of them in now and Bale hasn't had many roles that were that challenging. Ironically I found Bale's best performance to be his first film which he did as a child. Best acting I've ever seen from a child.
i think he had transcended his craft in my left foot- he was perfect- just look at the ceremony- the way the other nominees applaud him when he wins- true respect among peers
+_Poozer_ I don't agree, he could not have beaten Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote, Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland, or Jamie Foxx in Ray.
@@calvincandie9345 he couldnt have beaten Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland, or Jamie Foxx in Ray.?????lolol Viggo is amazing this year in greek book, and he cannot win anything when he has against him such "amazing" actor like Rami malek. I just dont understand that. ok , with Danile Day lewis he could have lost but with Malek???pathetic
Everyone tho the same thing about his Oscar performances, he barely act but to be honest his performance in The Descendant are the best so far in his career heck he won SAG and Globe before lost to Jean Dujardin
Johnny Depp's different in every role, does that make him a better actor than Christoph Waltz who's brilliant but pretty similar in everything? I'd imagine most people would say no
He's one of those British method actors who is so damn good at playing bizarre, compelling Americans that everybody's always shocked when they see and hear him off screen.
It's crazy how this man standing there on this stage receiving this award is nearly unrecognizable from the Daniel plainview we saw in the movie, his voice, his gestures, damn he looks ten years younger than the character he played in the movie. One of the most deserved Oscars in history.
***** Very good comment! I absolutely agree with you! I was really at a loss for words when I was reading Matt's reply - it reminded me of people here in Germany who think of Hitler as a visionary politician and business man - just because he built roads and lowered the extremely high unemployment here after WW1!! They disregard the millions of people he sent to the concentration camps and the misery he did to other peoples!
I actually have sympathy for that character his childhood was probably heartbreaking and his actual brother had died and he just didn't know what to do with his deaf son but got him a teacher and married him off to Mary who seemed to live Daniel too then even his son left him so he just rejected him as an orphan none of me in you etc. Sad tale in many ways.
@@annalisavajda252 Yeah, I agree, all these bits and details make his character complex and believable. And even when you watch the movie, there are scenes when you start feeling empathy for him, when he almost shows his long suppressed human side for lack of a better word. For example, you don't feel this way about Paul Dano's character, who is a wonderfully disgusting sleazy crook at every turn of the movie.
George Clooney is a baby compare to Daniel day-lewis. George is some way of his acting always wanna be a charming guy than to actually commit to being the character himself. But then again George Clooney is a good actor. No complain there.
Imagine, while he's speaking, all of his characters. You literally think "that's not him". The most talented actor ever, and for once, the academy got it right.
Daniel Day-Lewis deserved this. It is such a powerful performance. One of the best performances ever. Paul Dano is also a force, but how do you compete with DDL. His performance was one of the best ever. Vigo Mortensen also did an amazing performance. Eastern Promises, There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men are some of the best movies ever made. Fantastic.
It gives me chills how much he changes in his roles compared to real life. His accent, his voice, the way he walks, his face expressions and completely different. This is just amazing !!!
This dude was absolutely GREAT in There Will Be Blood...Not sure why a few argue about which other nominees should have won...Daniel Day Lewis absolutely TOWERED over rest of nominees for this role and also the role as Lincoln...Some of the best acting we have ever seen so far...

Viggo is even more of a Leonardo Decaprio than Leonardo Decaprio. The guy is scary talented and never gets truly recognized for any of what he does. He goes into character almost as much as Sir Daniel... Such a shame...
Its coz he is truly artistic and genuine and doesn't sell himself... He so deserves to win an Oscar... He is crazy talented and is such a different man... Rooting for him to win an Oscar any day...
COULD'NT AGREE MORE.VIGGO IS SUPER TALENTED YET SO UNDERRATED.I wonder when he will win an oscar.He is so commitment into his acting yet never get any awards or recognition unlike Depp or Clooney.Super overrated but their acting is not that impressive 🙄.
+LSJ Shez You could even argue that Daniel Day-Lewis's work in There Will Be Blood outshines De Niro's in Raging Bull. Bob is a legend, arguably the greatest American actor who gave probably the greatest performance of any actor (male of female) in the 20th Century with Raging Bull, but in recent years he's been slacking. Does that make DDL the best actor out of Pacino and De Niro? Maybe. But these three (five, including Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando) are legends no doubt.
Not to take anything away from Bobby D, or Raging Bull; I love em both.A lot of the acclaim for the performance rests on the weight gain/loss and boxing skill, which is great. But I prefer him in Taxi Driver and Godfather 2. I don't know as I'd say DDL outshines him; I just think he has been more consistently great. When De Niro is on his game, especially as a younger man, he's electric. It's just a pity the roles that he can excel at are few and far between these days. DDL seems to be able to pluck them out, even making an average film like Lincoln above average. It's been said that Scorsese wanted De NIro for Gangs Of New York, but I don't think he would have made that role into anything as good as what DDL did.
LSJ Shez DDL's a very consistent, but he takes mighty long breaks between films, which limits the amount of great stuff we can see him in. And yeah, him as Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York was a treat to watch, and probably the best performance of that year (It surprises me that Brody won it to be honest with you). DDL's a fucking fantastic actor man, no one is doubting that. If he wasn't, he wouldn't have ended up with 3 Academy Awards from 5 nominations.
Daniel Day-Lewis is a down-to-earth guy, and from the rules that he has played not a lot of people would think that he's such a relaxed person. But he really is just a nice guy that is a great actor and can do pretty much anything. Well deserved award and he won over 10 of them for this movie worldwide
flappy188 I kind of know what you mean, in fact it was some time that I had seen Lewis, I thought he had grown older watching Plainview, it was truly amazing. He literally became a turn of the century oil man.
This speech,this voice is like a breath of fresh air to the oscars, Daniel is so éloquent when he speaks and the choice of the words is magnificient, he is brilliant, the best actor in the World ! There is no one like him , his performance in THERE WILL BE BLOOD is quiet unique , I haven't seen a performance like his in my entire life ,in fact the only equal performance is his performance in My Left Foot ,so that makes him evidently the best actor without any doubt !
viggo blew my mind in Eastern promises what a great preformence but going upp agains the king himself most be hard as hell. like alot of people said any other year and he whould have had an Oscar for sure
Damn what competition but the performance he did and there Will be blood it's something that really only comes around in cinema once a couple decades he truly deserved it
So intelligent, so humble, so pleasant. He's just a guy who really likes to act in a guild full of status-obsessed tabloid propaganda. Dude seems sweet.
Cullen Cochran He really is a class act. When he won the Screen Actors Guild Award earlier that year, he spent most of his speech praising Heath Ledger, who had just died, and dedicated the award to him 💕
@@ifeelpretty5790 Now THAT was a great, classy moment in movie history! The great sir DDL knew about Heath's amazing talent...Thanks so much for mentioning it.
It hurts my brain to listen to this gentle man speak after watching There Will Be Blood. The skill and talent to transform himself into Daneil Plainview is astonishing.
Hell that was a dignified and eloquent speech....DDL is an actor no more...I can't think of any greater loss to the industry. To retire at the top of his game....it's incredible. Is it a damning statement? I don't know. But my goodness, a phenomenal actor....perhaps the best of all time? Every actor brings something unique to the table...DDL bought such an immense talent and complete inhabitation of the role...
I live for film and try to consider myself very open when it comes to all styles of actors and what they bring to the screeen....but Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood is by far my all time favorite male performance of all time! Simply terrifying this man's talent!
DDL, what an icon... what a treasure... HE IS THE GOAT! Just submersed in every role his is in. The other 4 he was up against was no "walk in the park"! They are all seasoned, incredible actors with amazing roles. DDL is just crazy good and probably got a few more votes than the others. Great year for Best Actor nominees!
there's acting where you know it's bad and it's embarrassing to watch; there's acting when it's good and you don't really notice it's an actor acting..... ... then there's acting where you go "holy shit" !
Leo has a ways to go before he is on the same level as Daniel, but I will say he was completely mesmerizing in The Revenant and makes me think he could do some DDL level shit at some point.
This is one time the academy definitely got it right! DDL simply disappeared into this role! Everything he had to do for this role made it so deserving-the voice, the posture, the non verbal language-everything. And I just love that he gave a simple speech of gratitude and admiration-for Paul Thomas Anderson. He didn’t start virtue signaling like so many of them do. He’s retired now, but if someone offers him the right role, I hope he’ll consider coming back again.
There will be Blood was my first Daniel Day Lewis film and I was fucked by his crazily incredible acting and character!!! What a man and what a beautiful movie
I very disrespectfully disagree with the idea that it could have been anyone of these other people. Daniel Day Lewis blows you away with that performance. So powerful. Viggo was good though...
Unfortunately it wasn't the first or the last time the academy fucked up the best picture winner. Goodfellas, Shawshank, Gangs of New york, frost/nixon all deserved to win more than the actual winner in those years. Just my opinion of course. In fairness, TWBB losing to No Country is understandable.
I fell in love with this actor when he spoke just a few lines in the film "Gandhi." He played a street punk and do not believe he was even included among the credits. He is the BEST.
English born but calls Ireland his home and has lived there most of his life. He's the most down to Earth guy would you ever meet. Does the shopping in the local village of Roundwood and likes to have his pint in the village pub with his mates. He hates the limelight and just wants to be treated like one of the boys... He's undoubtedly one of the greats.

Look at most actors resume, tons and tons of movies. Daniel has done 15 movies. And won 3 oscars. The man is on another level.
Holy cow. You're right. He has won an Oscar for every *five* movies he's done.
That's unfathomable.
DDL is in another league of acting indeed.
There was a man who was only in 5 movies and all won Best Picture in the 70's. John Cazale died too young.
He and Meryl Streep were together for a while and had planned to marry, but he took a turn for the worse and died.
I only hope the proposed remake of 1966's "Billy the Kid vs Dracula" will result in another Oscar for him.
I'm always at a loss for words whenever I see DDL as himself. Soft-spoken, sweet, humble, Englishman who I couldn't even imagine would be playing characters like Plainview and Bill the Butcher. He's the absolute best actor of our time.

Daniel Day-Lewis is a down-to-earth guy, and from the rules that he has played not a lot of people would think that he's such a relaxed person. But he really is just a nice guy that is a great actor and can do pretty much anything. Well deserved award and he won over 10 of them for this movie worldwide
i cant even see danial planiview when i look at daniel day lewis, they looks so differnet. like i cant see it being him. i dunno its weird.
That is why he's such an amazing actor!
flappy188 I kind of know what you mean, in fact it was some time that I had seen Lewis, I thought he had grown older watching Plainview, it was truly amazing. He literally became a turn of the century oil man.
flappy188 a true method actor, he doesn’t adapt to a script , he transforms
Holy shit this is the first time I think I've ever heard his actual voice...
This speech,this voice is like a breath of fresh air to the oscars, Daniel is so éloquent when he speaks and the choice of the words is magnificient, he is brilliant, the best actor in the World ! There is no one like him , his performance in THERE WILL BE BLOOD is quiet unique , I haven't seen a performance like his in my entire life ,in fact the only equal performance is his performance in My Left Foot ,so that makes him evidently the best actor without any doubt !
if Johnny Depp doesn't win an oscar until his retirement it will become a senseless award
Overrated asf
viggo blew my mind in Eastern promises what a great preformence but going upp agains the king himself most be hard as hell. like alot of people said any other year and he whould have had an Oscar for sure
IMO, this is the best lead acting performance of all time
That Eastern Promise’s performance was perfection as well.
Damn what competition but the performance he did and there Will be blood it's something that really only comes around in cinema once a couple decades he truly deserved it
So intelligent, so humble, so pleasant. He's just a guy who really likes to act in a guild full of status-obsessed tabloid propaganda. Dude seems sweet.
Cullen Cochran He's british! That's why he's intelligent, humble and pleasant. If he were american do you think he would be like that? I doubt it!
Cristina Sousa That's a gross generalisation. Every place has its share of both delightful and obnoxious people. Britain is in no way an exception.
Cullen Cochran He really is a class act. When he won the Screen Actors Guild Award earlier that year, he spent most of his speech praising Heath Ledger, who had just died, and dedicated the award to him 💕
@@ifeelpretty5790 Now THAT was a great, classy moment in movie history! The great sir DDL knew about Heath's amazing talent...Thanks so much for mentioning it.
my all time favorite performance by any actor this man is the goat of acting there truly never has been anyone better.
"I GOT A COMPETITION IN ME, I WANT NO ONE ELSE TO SUCCEED"
Daniel is a once in a lifetime actor.
Indeed. If he'd been around in the early 50s, I think he'd have helped make 1952's 'Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla" a true classic!
Waiting for Viggo Mortensen to win an Oscar for his incredible talent... He is so over due for that accolade...
It hurts my brain to listen to this gentle man speak after watching There Will Be Blood. The skill and talent to transform himself into Daneil Plainview is astonishing.
The Best Performance since Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs
+t1288 I thought Joaquin Phoenix was better in The Master
Even if I am ure opinion or not, "There Will Be Blood" came out before "The Master" :D
t1288 Even if I am ure opinion? WHat? And my bad, I should have said Phoenix in Walk the Line then
t1288 RIP Jonathan Demme.
I'd never say Joaquin was better but he's on top 5 best performances from this Century for sure.
This man is the living form of the word "actor"
When you see how he is in reality that proves what a stellar performance he created with Daniel Plainview. Brilliant.
I remember watching these nominations without seeing any of the movies and it was very obvious just from the small clips, DDL won the Oscar.
Hell that was a dignified and eloquent speech....DDL is an actor no more...I can't think of any greater loss to the industry. To retire at the top of his game....it's incredible. Is it a damning statement? I don't know. But my goodness, a phenomenal actor....perhaps the best of all time? Every actor brings something unique to the table...DDL bought such an immense talent and complete inhabitation of the role...
I live for film and try to consider myself very open when it comes to all styles of actors and what they bring to the screeen....but Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood is by far my all time favorite male performance of all time! Simply terrifying this man's talent!
DDL, what an icon... what a treasure... HE IS THE GOAT! Just submersed in every role his is in. The other 4 he was up against was no "walk in the park"! They are all seasoned, incredible actors with amazing roles. DDL is just crazy good and probably got a few more votes than the others. Great year for Best Actor nominees!
Daniel Day-Lewis is the absolute GOAT and my favourite actor ever.❤
My secong choice would've been Viggo, his character dripped with creepiness
Yeah, he was great in that movie.
Crazy that it was the first and (as far as I’m concerned) only performer to win for a Paul Thomas Anderson film.
Hell of an Actor, Lewis is.
Incredibly talented.
a great year for movies -- as for the men's best actor award. Wow!! pure greatness.
there's acting where you know it's bad and it's embarrassing to watch; there's acting when it's good and you don't really notice it's an actor acting.....
... then there's acting where you go "holy shit" !
I think Leo Decap. can also pull off the holy shit
no he cant .. he is not even in the same universe as Daniel
Leo has a ways to go before he is on the same level as Daniel, but I will say he was completely mesmerizing in The Revenant and makes me think he could do some DDL level shit at some point.
Leo is mediocre

One of the best performances since the 90s decade.
This is one time the academy definitely got it right! DDL simply disappeared into this role! Everything he had to do for this role made it so deserving-the voice, the posture, the non verbal language-everything. And I just love that he gave a simple speech of gratitude and admiration-for Paul Thomas Anderson. He didn’t start virtue signaling like so many of them do. He’s retired now, but if someone offers him the right role, I hope he’ll consider coming back again.
There will be Blood was my first Daniel Day Lewis film and I was fucked by his crazily incredible acting and character!!!
What a man and what a beautiful movie
The best thing about Day-Lewis in his acceptance speeches is that he mentions the child actors he works with.
a time when I waited to watch the oscars...not anymore...
Daniel Day Lewis the greatest actor ever.
Possibly the best performance of the new millennium.. Definitely in the conversation.
Johnny depp 🥰 he even sang...
Everyone already knew Daniel Day-Lewis was gonna win. How was he not also nominated for Last of the Mohicans? I love the way he speaks. Very poetic.
"I will find you!"
Viggo and daniel very close to call.
yeah man, Viggo killed that performance
+Joel Armstrong Vigo was great but not even close to what day Lewis was able to pull off. Just a perfect performance by a perfect actor.
respectfully disagree, I think they were close, but Daniel edged him out I'll give you that.
I very disrespectfully disagree with the idea that it could have been anyone of these other people. Daniel Day Lewis blows you away with that performance. So powerful. Viggo was good though...
mateo reggi are u kidding me dd Lewis blew everyone out the water
One of the most deserving awards given. Nobody was better than DDL and No Country was incredible. Tells you how good Day Lewis was
DDL’s performance makes all the other nominees seem so basic Lol
I love that performance. Daniel Day-Lewis in his best role.
If it were up to me it would have got the Oscar for best picture, as well.
Unfortunately it wasn't the first or the last time the academy fucked up the best picture winner. Goodfellas, Shawshank, Gangs of New york, frost/nixon all deserved to win more than the actual winner in those years. Just my opinion of course. In fairness, TWBB losing to No Country is understandable.
johnson7166 worst is saving private Ryan to Shakespeare in love
Thom and Best Director
utubedestroysmytime Brokeback Mountain losing to Crash in 2005
utubedestroysmytime Roma losing to Green Book in 2018
When I first heard him speak I 😮was so shocked. How can that be D.Plainfield? the same man? Absolutely the best actor alive. Mesmerizing
Helen and Daniel: two british legends!
I fell in love with this actor when he spoke just a few lines in the film "Gandhi." He played a street punk and do not believe he was even included among the credits. He is the BEST.
Incredible performance. Well deserved.
If anyone was wondering like I was, Sir Daniel Day-Lewis was knighted on November 14, 2014.
English born but calls Ireland his home and has lived there most of his life. He's the most down to Earth guy would you ever meet. Does the shopping in the local village of Roundwood and likes to have his pint in the village pub with his mates. He hates the limelight and just wants to be treated like one of the boys... He's undoubtedly one of the greats.
I was wondering why I was thinking he's Irish LoL 😂 but he lives in Ireland
His most fascinating role that will be close to my heart.
Probably the Most Deserved Oscar In History on Level with Louise Fletcher in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Robert De Niro in Raging Bull
Loving this format most in presenting the Oscar, opposite gender from last year presenting to opposite gender of this year!
