Certainly one of the most deserved Oscar in history.

Listen to his real voice, then go and listen to his voice he uses in these films. The man is a DIFFERENT PERSON in his films, it's INCREDIBLE method acting!

Absolutely deserved in my opinion. No performance has ever blown me away as Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood.

It must feel the worse for any actor that is nominated for an Oscar to know he´s going up against Daniel Day Lewis

He needed a standing ovation, it was legit the greatest performance of all time

Should have gotten a standing ovation here. This was arguably the greatest performance ever given..

He's the third revelation.

wish paul dano had been at least nominated for supporting actor :/ both daniel and paul were stunning !

'Closest I'll come to get to a knighthood' What was that Sir Daniel Day-Lewis?

This performance was honestly the greatest piece of acting I have ever seen in my life. At no point in that film did I believe he was Daniel Day Lewis, but rather Daniel Plainview, an absolutely insane tragic villain/hero!

i wish he would have accepted it in character. " ladies and gentlemen! i'm an award man. i traveled half across the state to see about this award. i have two oscars, golden globes and numerous other awards, so - ladies and gentlemen, if i say i'm an award man, you will agree." then rushing off the stage blaring "i'm finished!"

he should have 4 oscars...gangs of new york was epic!!!!!

I like Daniel's composure. So effortless and elegant. Resonating humbleness and maturity. Feels like a man who's lived for ages. What an artist

This will go down in history as one of the great screen performances, alongside Brando in On The Waterfront, Pacino in Godfather Part II and De Niro in Raging Bull.

A true gentleman. Can't believe the same mild mannered person on that stage played Bill The Butcher and Daniel Plainview.

I watched There Will Be Blood 4 times in the past week. There's something about the film that really pulled me into it, and still hasn't let go. Daniel and Pauls performances were absolutely brilliant. Daniel Day Lewis, hands down one of the very finest in the game today. Cheers

Ladies and gentlemen I've traveled over half our state to be here tonight.

Daniel Day-Lewis, the greatest actor that ever lived.

I would’ve never guessed that this voice is from the same person that portrayed Daniel Plainview. How the hell did he do that?! Most deserved oscar ever.

To think this quiet, well spoken reserved man was Bill the Butcher and Daniel Plainview is amazing. He is the definition of an actor.

Possibly the absolute greatest performance an actor has ever given.

Come back Daniel Day Lewis ...We miss you...

I just noticed the 4 actors that won an Oscar that year are all European: Daniel Day Lewis and Tilda Swinton (UK), Marion Cotillard (France) and Javier Bardem (Spain).

One of the classiest and best actors ever. Hope that one day he will return to acting.

He is just the nicest and most humble actor ever!!

For me personally and this is entirely my opinion, Daniel Day Lewis's performance in There Will Be Blood was spellbinding. I mean TWBB is a long watch but, I found the time passed amazingly fast for me. I found myself looking forward to every syllable of DDL's dialog. Every turn of his head or expression. I have not seen Lincoln but, right now, to me Daniel Deal Lewis in TWBB is the greatest acting performance I have ever seen.

The single greatest performance by an actor in cinematic history.

He was outstanding in that movie. There's no one else it should've gone to.

his performance in there will be blood was literally best performance by an actor in all history of the movies

I drink your milkshake!

THE BEST ACTOR OF ALL TIME!!!

"That's the closest I'll ever come to getting a knighthood" funny coz now he has one :P

One of my favorite films ever.

Best performance of all time. Can’t believe he didn’t get a standing ovation.

The man just oozes Sophistication. It’s so Unbelievable how he transforms into these characters.

Best performance of all time winning best actor

*DDL's Real speech:* "My straw reaches across the room... and starts to drink your Oscar ... I... drink... your... Oscar! _[slurps]_ I drink it up!"

I just watched there will be blood for the first time last night, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Everything in this movie was incredible. Daniel Day Lewis is magical beyond measure, and the way it was filmed, the story, the music. One of the greatest movies ever created.

I'm sitting here watching Day-Lewis' 3 Oscar acceptance speeches and I'm in awe of how humble this man is. He is easily the most gifted actor of his generation, and yet he has found the means to not let all of that clout go to his head. A truly great artist, and possibly an even better man.

It's really hard to believe that this gentle man with the voice and look of a young man, is the same person who plays Bill the butcher in Gangs of New York and Plainview in There will be blood.. What a great actor.

What a gracious speaker

a thorough gentleman ...and a wonderful actor..

Man...I remember watching this live that night and rooting for Johnny Depp, because I was (and still am) an avid fan and just KNEW he was going to win for Sweeney Todd. I knew he would. But this man, whom I honestly didn't know much about until that night, swept in and got it for There Will Be Blood. I was so pissed. But then something about that baptism scene they showed stuck with me and I had to watch the film...and I could not stop talking like Daniel Plainview for like a year after. My momma was sicka me screaming "I'VE ABANDONED MY CHILD!!!" all the time 🤣🤣 Oh my goodness, I *immediately* withdrew all hate and fell in love with his phenomenal acting!! Love Johnny, but Daniel Day-Lewis did his thing in There Will Be Blood and I am heartbroken that he has retired 💕

He was so good that it was distracting from the film. I literally could not stop being in awe of his performance.

DDL is one of the most prominent actors ever seen. After having seen Gangs Of New York, In The Name Of The Father and There Will Be Blood, which was bone-shattering to the core, I can say that the guy is haunting either in real life and in his portrayal of his characters he seems to merge with. All of the people who learned him how to act are the ones to praise. This man is a true gift for arts. If I see him one day, I would say "Thank you, M.Day Lewis, for defining what cinema is about: make us feel and make the characters real. Thank you so much for giving mesmerizing performances. Hope we'll see you in MORE movies!" Too bad he hasn't done much since Lincoln.

I'm half way watching this movie now. Holy cow. He kills in it! One of the most powerful performances I've ever seen. Paul Dano is SICK in this too.

Greatest of all time

This was one of the best performances I've ever seen in films.

Anyone else just love the way Daniel Day Lewis thanked the director, Paul Thomas Anderson, in such a strange but beautiful way?

where was the second oscar for best jawline?

Incredible performance from an all-time great.

His transformations into the characters in his movies are absolutely astounding... One of the greatest ACTORS of our time.. Just cant say enough about this man.

One of top 5 greatest performances I’ve ever seen.

There are two types of actors. 1. Daniel Day-Lewis & 2. Others

Literally every one who was nominated are my favourite but he deserves it.

Best acting performance I’ve ever seen

C’mon people, he deserved a standing ovation for this one! This was one of the most incredible and remarkable performances I’ve ever seen!

It’s a sad day for any actor at the academy awards when they’re up against Daniel Day Lewis. He always gives the most fantastic of performances!

One of the most beautiful performance ever.

His acting in this film blew me away

When I hear "Hollywood, Oscar, etc", my heart replies.."Daniel Day Lewis"

I can't believe this man played Daniel Plainview. DDL is a fucking legend. Greatest Actor Of All Time.

"thank you very much indeed, thank you" aww he so cuteeee

Quite simply one of the finest artists to grace the art of acting that has ever lived. We should be grateful for having witnessed his greatness... And that honest, humble, grateful attitude towards winning the ultimate prize.

0:48 Johnny's like, "Oh yeah! There will be blood".

Perhaps the single most immersive performance ever put on film. You absolutely, 100% know you’re seeing Daniel Plainview and not an actor. Every single aspect of that character was perfectly realised. He’s on screen for almost the whole movie and set a new standard for how to possess a character.

LOVE his chivalrous bow to Helen.

Nominees: Daniel Day Lewis and Four other nominees who practised saying "It's an honour to be nominated" for months

Why wasn't Jonny Greenwood's score nominated it's mental.

That was the greatest performance of all time. Pure magic!

Often times I got goosebumps to watch him acting so those never leave me alone when I confront similar scenes in any kinds of movie. I must have been addicted with him.

Outstanding performance and one of the greatest movies of all time.

Daniel Day-Lewis is unbelievable. Hard to describe his talent and skills without writing a book. Simply superb. "There will be blood" is one of the best movies ever made and that I've seen yet. A masterpiece from A to Z. No other actor could have portrayed this character in the movie as Day-Lewis did. Same goes for "Lincoln". British actresses and actors are the finest.

It always bugged me how Helen Mirren just said and the Oscar goes to Daniel Day Lewis. Even though everyone knew he'd win, the suspense of "and the Oscar goes to..." is important.

This is my favourite performance by any actor in any movie

One of the greatest individual performances of all time!

This will be remembered as the greatest performance in the history of cinema

Viggo Mortensen's performance would have won in any other year. Quite unluckily, DDL gave the best performance of the last 25 years right in 2007...

Wow 1 year and we got one of the best performances of all time and one of the best performances of the 21st century what a year for films Bardem and Lewis take a bow

no actor in history of actors deserves more credit than daniel day lewis in this movie - just an amazing performance by one of greatest actors we have ever seen

one of the greatest actors of alltime and the best of his generation! he is in the class of actors like Al Pacino, Humphrey Bogart & Marlon Brando

I'm so glad they played one of the best songs from the soundtrack while he was walking up. That whole score is phenomenal!

It's so amazing, astounding, how different Daniel Day Lewis is from the characters he plays. Some great actors often take something from themselves to embody a character. They pull something they can relate to. Daniel just becomes someone else. It's incredible. Such a beauty. Such a legend. We're all lucky to be able to watch him act!!

In all honesty.. Greatest performance of all time.

The best leading role performance I've ever seen.

He is such a sweetheart! Nothing like his characters. I love him.

One of the best years for acting Oscars. Day-Lewis, Cotillard, Swinton and Bardem are some of the most powerful actors alive. To see them celebrated in a single year was so great.

his performance in there will be blood is so terrifying yet so believable incredible performance incredible movie

I... drink... your... MILKSHAKE!

I can't explain how humble this guy is, I met him twice in Ny he was just amazing. THE BEST ACTOR EVER...

absolutely deserved it...just watched the film and im still amazed by his perfomance...:')

Helen Mirren by far the best presenter of Daniel Day Lewis's Oscar. She is talented and gorgeous in equal measure.

Those other nominees don’t belong in the same category.

Best of all time category. Most deserved

A so wonderful intelligent amazing actor...and very handsome..thank you Daniel for your amazing work 😍😍😎

"That's the closest i will ever come to getting a knighthood', he actually got knighthood in 2014

don't forget 'The Last of the Mohicans", "The Age of Innocence" (my favorite!)

he's such a sweet and humble man

Can tell what a great actor he is in real life he is somewhat shy and self effacing but has played theses ferocious larger than life characters.

Helen Mirren got me bricked up ngl
