Don't look now, but if Daniel Day-Lewis manages to score a Best Actor Oscar for his role in Lincoln, he will become the first man in the history of the Academy Awards to win three golden trophies.
The 55-year-old first won Best Actor in 1989 for his work in My Left Foot, and then again in 2008 for his portrayal of the ruthless oil baron Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. Having appeared in just 20 films over the course of his career, he's good for a 10 percent winning percentage. If he were an NFL team, that number wouldn't be too impressive. But as an actor, it puts him in a field of his own. Tom Hanks, who has also been named Best Actor twice, has 50 films to his credit, which gives him a 4 percent winning percentage.
