Daniel Day-Lewis Wins Leading Actor BAFTA 2008 - BBC One

[richiesking]

wonderful fucking speech as someone from south east london you made us so proud daniel!

[raidfaglol]

not underrated at all, he just picks the roles he wants, and dont do filler

[manipulatedliving94]

I wouldn't say he's underrated at all, he's just not super famous with some of the public, because he acts for the love of acting, not fame, and doesn't like the media displaying his life. God I respect the man.

[iloveneytiri]

1:42 woooossshhhh you can almost hear that joke fly over that idiots head!

[shdgahsgf]

shit me i live next to sherrington. and went to invictor. breifly. crazy

[iloveneytiri]

Best actor ever! glad he mentioned Paul Dano who was so underrated with a brilliant performance understandably overshadowed though next to daniel day lewis! Great man and a wonderful actor.

[Ursulaardeedaar]

OMG!!

Invicta, Blackheath, My primary school :O

ahahaha, lovely, made me so happy!!!

[01adder29]

he is so amazing in Gangs of New York

[siwlat10]

It was My Beautiful Laundrette, really early one. Great film, directed by Stephen Frears I think.

[111Thelimit]

I first took notice of this man in (The Pink laundry) I think that was the title can anyone confirm

[PrimaIScream]

He seems nervous.

[Shazbut01]

Better than Brando, Clift, De Niro, Olivier, all of them

[Decksrayspex]

He's reppin my ends!

[JBRNR]

most underrated actor along with willem dafoe

[leeallen01]

@JBRNR I wouldn't call him underrated, seeing as he's a 2-time Oscar winner in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category. Surely that would indicate that he is rated perfectly

[millionseven]

@JBRNR Underrated? A lot of people think that Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors of all time, arguably THE best.

And I wouldn't disagree with them, he's incredible.

[dontleademsomuch]

@JBRNR underrated???

[kniteboss1]

He acts in one film a year...and wins awards every year ! huge talent !

[manuelnegrete]

Brilliant actor, also completely off his tits.

[xXLuxAeternaXx]

Its such a charming speech - by such a charming man.

[FlashbladeTST]

Could someone give me a bit of back-story for this "Daniel Day-Lewis" guy?

[lvu16]

best actor ever

[hanban119]

He is simply amazing.

[faraz312]

Wat a great speach and a great personality person.

[stinkydiz]

does anyone know the name of the song that's playing as he goes up

[cncoote]

Wake Up by Arcade Fire.

[stinkydiz]

thanks for that, great song.

[iainlonuk]

has to be the most elegant acceptance speech i ever heard

[tttbug]

He winks a his wife who was sat on his left hand side

[welshdevondragon]

Who is it James McAvoy winks at?

[scragglyannie]

Day-Lewis is such a brilliant actor. If you compare his personality in real-life to the personality he adopts in his films, it's a complete transformation, and an extremely convincing one at that.

[JimmyNinyBillyBob]

He seems to be so humble, he accepted the award with such grace and good humour.

[Themanofchan]

Day lewis is a legend

[lesliejung]

what is so cool about day-lewis is his instinctive use of great language and imagery all the time - and he is earthy with it; mcavoy has his moments as an actor despite being good looking - but he has a little way to go,i think. day-lewis is just incredibly talented and works hard at it

[badofcheese]

How on earth?! He's a millwall fan??

[microscopic]

that's the best acceptance speech i've ever heard

[flybywir]

Blackheath, Lewisham, Greenwich, Streets of Deptford......The Boy Done Good!!...innit.

[flybywir]

Blackheath, Lewisham, Greenwich, Streets of Deptford......The boy done good!! innit......

[zorsky]

I wanted James Mcavoy to win it... I am sure his time will come as he is so talented and soooo lovely too!

[screwball82]

I'm sick of people going on about how lovely actors are....who cares. It's about art, not who the hell you fancy. People need to get over the whole pretty boy thing and realise what a good actor is. And DDL owns them all

[isabelflewaway]

Fantastic speech!

Greenwich, Blackheath, Lewisham, Streets of Deptford... i love this guy!

[deejp]

What is the music being played when he accepts the award, it isn't a Johnny Greenwood track?

[hoodythemad]

no its wake up by arcade fire

[lvu16]

who else would win this? the man completely outdone his previous performances

[jjchipol]

Well deserved! That man can act out of anything and his performance in 'There Will Be Blood' is astonishing. Team America is wrong... Daniel Day-Lewis IS the best actor in the world.
