Again?
What's that now...3 times this year he's done this?

Couldn't care less,sorry.
shareI'm glad. I didn't appreciate the fact that he was a Brit who made history by winning three Academy Awards (an American awards show). I'm gonna be even more kissed off if he tries for another Oscar nomination for his last project this year.
share😂
You care about who wins an Oscar?
Have you forgotten that this is a site for movie buffs and not just for idle discussions on a general message board?
shareIt's a valid question. And the debate on whether the subjective opinions of a group of, I assume, predominantly older male Americans on awarding film, in an in-industry event, matter, has been raging for quite some time now.
Also, how many American actors have won a BAFTA? Should the Brits be miffed about that?
1. Who cares if he's a Brit? 2. Nicholson has three Oscars (1 in supporting) 3. Katherine Hepburn has 4 as well.
shareDDL is the only make actor in Academy Award history to have won 3 Oscars for playing the lead role in a film. That's the difference. I don't have an issue with Kate Hepburn because she's an American actress.
shareYeah, but who cares? I mean, The Beatles biggest sales were in the US even though they were from England.
shareNever been a fan.
shareYeah, me too. He may be a great actor (according to Academy Awards) but he looks so generic along with Matthew McConaughey.
sharewatching Matthew McConaughey act, is like sitting at a bar drinking sand, same with DDL
shareLol. At least he's good in Sing. 😆
How these two actors keep landing jobs is a mystery to me, while real iconic faces like Nicholas Cage has to practically rummaging dumpsters for terrible roles in low-budget movies.
yep.
shareIf you don't like the legend that is Daniel Day-Lewis, that is fine. But you dare say his name in comparison of Matthew McConaughey, makes it extremely blasphemous and I can't allow it.
shareIs he doing this to prepare for a role?
shareI love him. He's one of my favorites and has been for a very long time. I try to see everything he's in, which isn't much and not nearly enough for me. I think he's a genius, innately talented. He picks such fine roles with the best directors. I will miss him if he retires.
shareThis topic would go great on his own damn page and not in general.
