Ever heard of Daniel Day-Lewis!?!


For all those sad individuals who waste energy cursing and hating upon Redmayne for winning an Oscar. For those who say Keaton should have won or who write off Redmayne's career going forward. There was once a relative unknown actor called Daniel Day-Lewis who, only a year younger than Redmayne, won his first Oscar (My Left Foot) and is now one of the greatest actors of all time and currently the only and first to win 3.

I'm sure 'Jupiter Ascending' will be a fine addition to his portfolio. Perhaps another Oscar, even!

Meryl Streep has won 3.

Redmayne will never be as good as ddl.

reply

Are you honestly comparing this guy to Daniel Day-Lewis?

reply

I can assure you people back then had their doubts on DDL just give this Guy time, not if he keeps doing films like Jupiter tho

reply

you're forgetting jack nicholson , and there's someone with 4 oscars (as an actor) out there. Chill. Oscars won't determine if someone's the best actor to be honest..

reply

The only and first to win 3?

Jack Nicholson has 3, the last of which was in 1997....meaning he accomplished it before Lewis.

Walter Brennan won 3, the last of which was in 1940....before Lewis was even born.

Katharine Hepburn won 4... all well before Lewis

Ingrid Bergman won 3... once again well before Lewis

Meryl Streep won 3.... again before Lewis.

Daniel Day Lewis has been fantastic in several movis, but far to many of his fans take the whole thing way to far. Good? Yes. Great? Occasionally. The best ever? LOL no.

As for Redmayne, I felt he fully deserved the Oscar for Theory of Everything. He was fantastic.

Bravo.
