- Daniel Day-Lewis Oscar Acceptance Speech from Oscars.org: That's the closest I'll ever come to getting a knighthood. Thank you. My deepest thanks to the members of the Academy for whacking me with the hansomest bludgeon in town. I'm looking at this gorgeous thing that you've given me, and I'm thinking back to the first devilish whisper of an idea that came to him and everything since. This sprang like a golden sampling from the mad beautiful head of Paul Thomas ANderson. I wish my son and partner HW Plainview were up here with me. So many people to thank. One amongst them Mrs Plainview down there, the enchantingly optimistic and open minded Rebecca Miller. I hope that all those who I owe and who I feel the deepest gratitude will forgive me if I say simply thank you, Paul. I've been thinking about fathers and sons in the course of all this. I would like to accept this in honor of my grandfather, Michael Bolkin, my father Cecil Day Lewis, and my three fine boys Gabrielle, Ronan, and Casil.
