DDL dedicates HL

Daniel Day-Lewis dedicated his actor/award to Heath Ledger

[@derrickpatterson8534]

That just shows how great an actor Heath Ledger was. You just watched the greatest actor in the history of cinema talk about how moved and amazed he was by some of Heath's performances. If you can wow Daniel Day Lewis you're great.

[@liamholloway-sw7eu]

I liked Paul Newman

[@phillychild122]

DDL is the best modern day actor. That should be clear to everyone. There are a lot of brilliant actors, Ledger, DiCaprio, Downey Jr, . Pacino was a legend for me before them and the biggest legend in the male actor cinema, Marlon Brando, who brought method acting. Theatre acting belonged to Sir Laurence Olivier

Winning 3 oscar best actor award. DDL has already made history . But he is such a modest person to acknowledge Heath Ledger's finest performance in brokeback mountain.. That trailer scene really defines Heath's sensitivity as an actor and it really rips me off.

[@peg202xo7]

I will always feel Heath was robbed of an Oscar for Brokeback. Hoffman did a great impression of Capote, but Heath became Ennis in Brokeback, from a skeleton short story he clothed that character in warm human flesh. Bravo.

[@lightninseed]

@@peg202xo7 I so agree! Heath played Ennis to perfection!

[@brendantaylor3570]

Peg202 XO Agreed. A great year for lead actor that year with Joaquin in Walk the Line too. And maybe David Straitharn for Good Night and Good Luck, but not positive. I think they should have given Phil an Oscar for Supporting in the Master. Though Heath did get an Oscar and I think would have won it regardless, posthumous or not.

[@kdub10009]

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. Once again he deflects attention from his own amazing performance and, with utter class, places it in Heath's memory.

[@lightninseed]

He clearly admired Heath quite a bit. And I'm so thankful to DDL for bringing up Heath's performance in Brokeback Mountain. Many people only mention Heath playing the Joker, but Heath was showing perfection as an actor way before The Dark Knight. He was good in The Dark Knight...but he was better in other performances.

[@unitedstatesofamerica9948]

Wrong. Everyone knew Heath was one of the greatest actors of all time well before "The Dark Knight", but the Joker is his greatest performance.

[@lightninseed]

@@unitedstatesofamerica9948 not at all…it’s one of his greatest performances but not the greatest.

[@Xtiansldrs]

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.☺️

[@gvaras]

i saw that show and ...yes, DDL turn very low,. Guess felt how fragile life is, actually was talking about Paul Thomas Anderson (another giant) and making off by "there where be Blood" (Second academy from states. Oprah did well that time. World is changing every day. And, love both.
