The now-retired Daniel Day-Lewis was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards six times, and won three times. His first win came for My Left Foot, a biopic focused on Christy Brown, a real Irish artist with cerebral palsy who created art with his foot, which he had the motor skills to control.
Obviously, there is an intense “business” to the performance, but Day-Lewis excels. Knowing what we know about his dedication to his craft, one can only imagine how he was on set. Also, let’s not overlook the rest of the cast. Brenda Fricker also won Best Supporting Actress for My Left Foot.
Jim Sheridan, the film’s Irish director, also made many other excellent films, including In the Name of the Father and In America.
