ReelHeART is happy to announce Danial-DayLewis has won Best Actor for his portrayal as a shrewd oil barron in “There Will Be Blood”, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.
Having last seen Daniel-Day Lewis in “The Ballad of Jack and Rose” and “Gangs of New York”, it’s been awhile for both audiences and Lewis to get re-acquainted with each other.  Lewis known for his selectivity in roles, gets so deeply immersed in them, that, as a result we only see him in 2-3 films a year.Â
He was known to suffer from  pnuemonia while filming “Gangs of New York”, because he wanted to stay true to the wardrobe of the day and not wear a warming coat; he lived off the land in “Last of the Mohicans” and locked himself in a cell for getting into character for “In The Name of The Father”.
Paul Thomas Anderson of “Boogie Nights”, “Magnolia” and “Punch Drunk Love” fame and two time Oscar winner has also won for Best Picture and Best Director for “There Will Be Blood”.
