Still the only actor with 3 Oscars. The actor:

he should have 4, should have won playing bill the butcher

To this day. This is my favorite movie.

Daniel Day Lewis is the best actor I've ever seen. As it has been said so many times, he disappears into a role. In There Will Be Blood and Gangs of New York, I was convinced I was watching those characters as living breathing historical figures. He is in a class of 1.

All of these actors have won three Oscars

Katherine Hepburn, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep and Frances McDorman have entered the chat

In the Name of the Father is his best film

....and he could have 4. He's also magnificent in "Gangs of New York". He's taken the craft of acting to a whole other level.

Wrong. He is tied with several actors. Kathryn Hepburn stll holds the record at 4 wins. Males: Daniel Day-Lewis: 3 wins Jack Nicholson: 3 wins Sean Penn: 3 wins Walter Brennan: 3 Females: Katheryn Hepburn: 4 wins Ingrid Bergjman: 3 wins Meryl Streep: 3 wins Frances McDormand: 3 wins

Daniel Day Lewis spent a crazy amount of time in character for his roles. Last of the Mohicans is still my fave where he went full survivalist to become Hawkeye — and the specifics are wild, even by his method‑acting standards.

Bullshit !

I think Sean Penn also entered that club a few months ago

Ingrid Bergman, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Walter Brennan, Ingrid Thulin 3 Oscar. Katherine Hepburn 4

His performance in Lincoln was fantastic. Well deserving of an Oscar.. well... when they still meant something. 🤔

Never go full retard......

One of the biggest problems with Daniel Day Lewis is he's unrecognizable from movie to movie. I've seen most of his movies. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't recognize him if I saw him in person. Probably an attribute of his acting talent.

Daniel Day Lewis, absolute fucking genius.

grande @simioteca

I'll just go ahead and say it -- There Will be Blood was a shit movie.

he is by far the second best actor ever

I want yous all to meet the son of priest vallon

Now do this actress from the film Obsession:

And he didn’t win for Last of the Mohicans or Gangs of New York

Yes Daniel Day-Lewis is the only person to win 3 Oscars for acting. Well except for Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Frances McDormand, Ingrid Bergman and Walter Brennan And by the way, Katherine Hepburn won 4 Oscars for acting

Technically.....not. 3 BEST ACTOR Oscars, yes. Jack Nicholson also has 3, though his Terms of Endearment Oscar is for a Supporting role.

Winning prizes for contrived, scripted, rehearsed, reenactments of pain, trauma, and all the violence that goes with. So passé....

Incredible guy

Katherine Hepburn has 4

One of the Greatest actors of all time. He literally becomes every role he plays, rendering himself virtually unrecognizable.

Millwall boy

Jack Nicholson did it too

should be four Oscars. He deserves it for gangs of New York.

3 Oscars you say...
