Daniel Day-Lewis Meets The Press, 1990

Daniel Day-Lewis answers questions from the international media in the press room at the 62nd Academy Awards ceremony, following his Best Actor win for 'My Left Foot'. The picture quality on this one is not great (even by my standards, lol) but it's worth watching anyway.

If I remember correctly, I recorded this press room stuff immediately after the 1990 Oscars from the E! channel, which apparently just parked a camera in the room and let it roll uninterrupted until everyone went home, lol. They don't really do it that way anymore I don't think, they show bits of the press stuff but have much more of an organized aftershow now. So I don't where if anywhere you could find a complete video like this for his new (yay!) Oscar. Anyone?

Thanks for posting it =). Why don´t you add the video with the speech of this ceremony?

[EmmaGennaro]

I already did, and Youtube removed it.:( Sorry.

Glad everyone is enjoying...very cool to hear the *reporters* applauding so enthusiastically. I think some are even shouting 'bravo' as the footage begins.

i love how he gives thought to each question

[FemSquelch]

I takes a great deal of bravery and composure to wait so long in silence to come up with a good answer. He's one of the few "movie stars" working today. In the sense of being complete and wholly formed on and off screen like the actors of the golden age of Hollywood.

[mariannora]

what a great actor, pretending he has to think before answering questions he had already answered a thousand times!

Good point. American citizens born and raised elsewhere are often just called Americans. Why shouldn't it be the same for an Irish citizen?

[ShaneC27]

I remember the scenes in Ireland when he won, the country went nuts! Who cares if he is English, he's done so many Irish films over the years and taken the country to his heart to such an extent that we have subsequently adopted him as one of our own. Jack Charlton was English, St. Patrick was Welsh, Michael Flatley is American..... go figure!

@MrLewyboy

Um, yes, he is English. At least half English...He has an English mother, an English upbringing until the age of 36, an Irish father with an English upbringing and he now has current dual citizenship in Ireland and England. In this interview, does this man sound at all Irish? LOL>

[rainaromes]

I am sooo in love with this man! Love love love Daniel.

@Symmetryful Have you met him? if so, do tell.

He does seem to be very thoughtful in every interview. In the Charlie Rose interview promoting the Ballad of Jack and rose with himself and his wife (the writer and director of the film), he did a much better job of describing her movie than she did. He should write because he talks like a writer and contributes to his characters like a writer (inventing characteristics and even some dialogue that wasn't in the script)
