Daniel Day-Lewis Named “Best Actor”

Sure, huge box office sales and widespread admiration can go a long way in bolstering an actor’s ego. But nothing feels quite as good as winning a “Best Actor” Oscar.

Just ask Daniel Day-Lewis. At Sunday night’s 2008 Academy Awards, the “There Will Be Blood” hunk walked away with arguably the highest honor of the night.

Day-Lewis graciously accepted his trophy, sporting the usual black tuxedo complete with bow-tie and a big smile.

Daniel’s fellow countrywoman Tilda Swinton also took home an Oscar for her role in “Michael Clayton.” Not a bad night for the English, eh?
