Day-Lewis wins best actor Academy Award
25/2/2008 16:52
Daniel Day-Lewis won his second best actor Academy Award yesterday for his
lead role in "There Will Be Blood."
In "There Will Be Blood," Day-Lewis plays
a raging, conniving, acquisitive petroleum pioneer caught up in California's oil
boom of the early 20th century.
His part could scarcely have been more
different than his understated role as a writer with severe cerebral palsy in
1989's "My Left Foot," film analysts said.
"My deepest thanks to the academy
for whacking me with the handsomest bludgeon in town," Day-Lewis said at the
ceremony held at the Kodar Threater in downtown Los Angeles.
Earlier in the
evening, Austria's "The Counterfeiters" has been named best foreign language
film at the 80th Academy Awards.
