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.

The greatest, scariest and the most breathtaking acting performance I have ever seen - DDL in There will be Blood

His speech alone should have got him another Oscar. Worlds best actor yet so humble

"I hate most people."

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.

You can see how great performer he is when watching his normal way of talking.

Once of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen in a film.

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.

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.

That Eastern Promise’s performance was perfection as well.

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

my all time favorite performance by any actor this man is the goat of acting there truly never has been anyone better.

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 !

I do think there are other performances where the actors transcend themselves and make you completely believe that you are seeing a different person on the screen. Heath Ledger for example. It might’ve been a superhero movie. But I think 90% or more of the audience actually believed he was the joker and not just someone playing the joker like with jack nicholson for example.

Even more than the way he acts, his humility is incredible

Johnny depp 🥰 he even sang...

"I GOT A COMPETITION IN ME, I WANT NO ONE ELSE TO SUCCEED"

Daniel is a once in a lifetime actor.

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.

This man is the living form of the word "actor"

The other nominees: 'why the fuck did they bother nominating me for......'

Hell of an Actor, Lewis is. Incredibly talented.

What a tremendous year for Best Actor. All terrific performances

Incredible performance. Well deserved.

Viggo and daniel very close to call.

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...

He is so attractive.

No standing ovation for DDL, for such a masterful performance…kind of incredible.

That's weird to me too because they gave Leo DiCaprio a standing ovation

DDL’s performance makes all the other nominees seem so basic Lol

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!

When you see how he is in reality that proves what a stellar performance he created with Daniel Plainview. Brilliant.

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...

One of the best performances since the 90s decade.

You know the films a masterpiece when every time a scene is played you get chills. There Will be Blood is that masterpiece.

Wow, that Sweeny Todd performance really holds up.

I love that performance. Daniel Day-Lewis in his best role.

His most fascinating role that will be close to my heart.

"That's the closest I'll ever coming to getting a knighthood" - bet he had no idea he would be knighted in 2014 :D

So he took it then? That surprises me. Non-establishment types don't usually stoop for that

I didn’t know Johnny Depp was nominated for Sweeney Todd. Awesome!

Absolutely Great Performance

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!

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.

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

a great year for movies -- as for the men's best actor award. Wow!! pure greatness.

All of these were fantastic performances.

Daniel Day Lewis the greatest actor ever.

The god of actors, all of his films are amazing. :3

Very classy and gracious!

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

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

I like George Clooney. I enjoy most of his movies, I think he's an excellent director as well. But lets be real here, George Clooney can only play one character and thats George Clooney. It's all good, aint nothing wrong with that. It's sorta like how Bill Murray can only play Bill Murray, but Bill Murray is so fucking great in everything we tend to look past the fact that he's just playing himself.

+khoa pham I'm with you: there are some actors who simply excel at playing themselves. I beg to add the following entries to your list: Tom Cruise, Jack Lemmon, Kurt Russell, William Hurt, Jim Carrey...and, rather grudgingly, Paul Giamatti and Christoph Waltz. As you said, this doesn't mean they're bad actors, they're just really, really good at playing a single role.

+lisvender In general I agree with both you and khoa pham, however there are certain films with each actor listed that break their typecast: Clooney: Burn after reading; there are similarities to his usual performance but there are slight ticks and nuances that are very differen, a good performance. Murray: Broken Flowers Tom Cruise: Eyes Wide Shut (Stanley Kubrick's last film, underrated) can't think of any for Lemmon except for maybe JFK Kurt Russell: Elvis, maybe the Thing William Hurt: A History of Violence Jim Carrey: as Carolina Vallario said: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and the Number 23 Paul Giamatti: The Amazing Spiderman 2, Cold Souls Christoph Waltz: I think his two Tarantino roles are quite different in character, but I can also see similarities especially in the accent used and the politeness/formalities of both, in which case I would suggest the Zero Theorem by Terry Gilliam

khoa pham agreed nothing wrong on being able to only play one character. I love Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson and they can only play Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson which is a joy watching them play that same character every film. Brad Pitt is another one I enjoy from that category actors who are great at playing themselves every single film

Gonna be incredibly sad to not see him in future projects!! He's one of the greats!

Eastern Promises is such a great movie and performance!
