DDL is the best modern day actor. That should be clear to everyone. There are a lot of brilliant actors, Ledger, DiCaprio, Downey Jr, .

Daniel Day Lewis has always been the most selfless actor, to the point where he goes back into retirement over and over again, retreating to his humbler life as a cobbler of all things.

Wow. I’m not a huge fan of DDL, however, no doubt he is an amazing actor...but... What really had me admiring him is the fact that he actually insisted on talking about Heath Ledgers death in his Oprah interview he had on the day that Heath had passed...and admitted that he had never even met him. He was obviously very upset about his death and it was affecting him tremendously. And then to see him here, honoring a fellow actor for his talent and body of work...without having even known him. That blows me away actually. More impressive than any body in the industry that I’ve ever seen. Dedicating his award to Ledger is beyond noble and really does not happen amongst egos who live for accolades. Wow, again. Super cool.☺️
