Daniel Day-Lewis Wins Best Actor: 1990 Oscars

[@SasfootBigsquatch]

Look how happy the other nominees are to see him win. Just shows how respected DDL was for that performance and how deserving he was to win.

[@JOHN----DOE]

A very strong year--what a contrast to the awful cartoon films now. Day-Lewis' speech is a model of graciousness, lack of egotism, and appropriate brevity.

I had to watch their reactions at least six times. I loved it.

[@LujackLvr]

As a person with cerebral palsy myself, Daniel Day-Lewis' amazing portrayal of Christy Brown was nothing short of phenomenal, in my opinion. How beautiful & achingly sad his performance was. When he mentioned Hugh O'Conor as Young Christy deserving half of his Oscar, he was so right. What a tremendous performance Hugh O'Conor gave. Kudos to Brenda Fricker as well, who also won Best Supporting Actress that year as Christy Brown's devoted mother. Simply amazing performances all around.
