For my first pick, I'm proud to be able to select in the BEST ACTOR category, Daniel Day-Lewis' portrayal of Daniel Plainview.

The Best Actor Oscar for 2007!

There were a few other choices here, but I really feel that this is one of the 2 or 3 greatest film acting performances of all time. Day-Lewis forces you to watch him, he's that good. His strange anonymity allows one to totally buy into the character without the actors personality or physical quirks butting in. The film is over 2 and a half hours long and it flies by, despite a story somewhat void of action. I didn't have a mirror, but I'm pretty sure that when the credits began to roll, my mouth was wide open, jaw dropped. Incredible stuff!
