Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis

By Eric Robinette | Sunday, February 24, 2008, 11:29 PM

Helen Mirren can make even these silly nomination speeches sound cool. Very good use of clips here too.

And one of the 20 best performances of all time gets the prize it so richly warrants. And to give you an idea of how amazing this performance is, look at how charming and soft-spoken he is - 180 degrees and a few planets away from Daniel Plainview.

Amazing man.
