DANIEL DAY-LEWIS has gone from big screen oddball to become the golden boy of the Oscars.
Tonight, if – as the bookies expect and most critics predict – he collects the Academy Award for his perfect portrayal of Abraham Lincoln, he will have created history.
It will mean that the London-born star – who previously won for My Left Foot and There Will Be Blood – is the first to complete a hat-trick of best actor Oscars.
With tonight’s triumph seeming a virtual certainty, it has caused at least one critic to ask whether Daniel Day-Lewis might just be the greatest screen actor of all time.
I would certainly place him up there with screen greats such as Spencer Tracy, Marlon Brando, James Stewart and James Cagney.
Like those iconic figures, Day-Lewis, 55, has the ability to so absorb himself in a performance that you forget that he is acting.
