I know this is an article about Lincoln and how great he was, which is appropriate. But it also is a reminder of what a great actor Daniel Day-Lewis is. He is head and shoulders above the rest with his range and ability to inhabit the character.

Watching the movie, one doesn’t see Daniel Day-Lewis, one watches Abraham Lincoln. Day-Lewis has him exact.

While Day-Lewis got the Academy Award, the fact that the very mediocre Argos received one over Lincoln is matched only by Shakespeare in Love beating Saving Private Ryan as examples of absurd thefts, and both of them were suffered by Steven Spielberg.

Lincoln was a slick lying railroad lawyer.

So, they’re giving Lincoln a Pee-Wee Herman voice?
