There Will Be Blood star Day-Lewis has won every major Best Leading Actor award going in the lead up to the Oscars, so it only seemed right that he completed the set. Thanking his director Paul Thomas Anderson he said, “I hope that all those to whom I owe and to whom I feel the deepest gratitude will forgive me if I say just simply, ‘Thank you, Paul.’” But after winning his second Academy Award - he was the 1989 winner for My Left Foot - Daniel reserved his biggest thanks for his family. “I've been thinking a lot about fathers and sons in the course of this, and I'd like to accept this in the memory of my grandfather, Michael Balcon, my father, Cecil Day-Lewis, and my three fine boys, Gabriel, Ronan and Cashel. Thank you very much indeed.”
