THE WAXING POETIC SPEECH
Watch: Daniel Day-Lewis's 2008 Best Actor Oscar win
Bless the two-time Oscar winner's heart for the sincere appreciation he shows his collaborators during his acceptance speeches, which helps make up for the fact that he takes the air out of the Best Actor Oscar race every time he's nominated in that category. "It seems to me that this sprang like a golden sapling out of the mad, beautiful head of Paul Thomas Anderson," he said in an homage to his There Will Be Blood director during his 2008 win. When Day-Lewis hits the podium this time around, be prepared for metaphors about his Lincoln director Spielberg and beautifully milled log cabins.
