I read me the fuck outta Team of Rivals and haven't seen Lincoln yet, but one thing I know is that the odds of Daniel Day-Lewis winning the Ocar are whatever is above 100%, and for sure deservedly so.
Funny thing, tho: he's the guy playing the definitive role of THE definitive American not named Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen, and yet...he ain't American.
Hello, America: Out-source much? I mean, really?
Tell you what - I don't wanna be the sorry mf who's gotta tell Jesus and his scrappy, loveable sidekick Baby Jesus that we've outsourced freedom. No sirreebob.
While it appears that Day's brilliant portrayal of our 16h President has warmed the hearts of America, England 'outsourced' and then out-soured Americans on Meryl Streep's version Margaret Thatcher * Lord Tebbit called the performance "half-hysterical, over-emotional"). Daniel Day Lewis did not have to deal with emotional outbursts. Sally Fields was left bearing that burden but did a wonderful job of bringing warmth and humanity back to a woman who is often only remembered for her irritability and angst. You really must see this, Greg.
