Daniel Day-Lewis Wins Best Actor

Daniel Day-Lewis rehearses his acceptance speech during a lull in shooting There Will Be Blood.

Oscar #2! Mr. Day Lewis has won his second Oscar for his performance in There Will Be Blood, a film which sprung like a golden sapling from the mad, beautiful head of Paul Thomas Anderson (er, his words, not mine). Mr. Day-Lewis had already won a limey Oscar (BAFTA) for his work in the film, but let's face it, no one really cares about those.

What's next for Mr. Day-Lewis? I'm hoping he accepts a role in the upcoming G.I. Joe film as Cobra villain Destro. I can see him now, silver facepaint and over-muscled onyx skinsuit replete with crimson cape, spouting "Cobra attack!"

Oh, if only. . .
