Daniel Day Lewis is truly a class act.

[proggrrl]

And his performance in THERE WILL BE BLOOD is a truly stunning, jaw-droppingly awesome work of art.

Lewis accepting at the SAG Awards last night:

Other bits and pieces:  Tina Fey and Steve Carell, together at last! (and, oddly, not allowed to be funny)...The amazing, amazing set of actresses vying for that Best Actress award this year, wow...the cast of The Office on stage, with Jenna talking about how some of them hadn't worked steadily before the show for 5, 10, or 20 years (!)...VIGGO (sigh)...Tina Fey's acceptance speech about being the "hat rack" to Alec Baldwin's Fred Astaire...Javier Bardem thanking the Coen Brothers for cutting the takes where "he sucked" in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN...fun stuff.

I just cannot get over how incredible DDL is. His whole reaction to the Heath thing, in this last week, has been so incredibly classy already, and then he goes and does this and makes me get all weepy. I didn't think it was possible to admire him more than I already did, but there you go. Thanks for posting.

That speech was incredible. Made me tear up, absolutely.

He's amazing, he is. And very deserving of that statue, too. Next up, Oscars. :)

I loved Tina Fey's Fred Astaire/hat rack analogy too :)

Thanks for posting Daniel Day Lewis' speech. I've been raving about how great it was to people who didn't see it, so now I can show them.

Aw, that was very moving. Made me tear up a bit.

Did you see his acceptance speech at the last award show(darn it I cant remember which one)? So humble and gracious. And his bit on Oprah about Heath Ledger? OMG I love this man!!

Thanks PG.

I was a big Heath Ledger fan and Daniel Day Lewis's speech really kind of summed it up.

Thanks.
