2008 Oscars..

http://www.imdb.com/Sections/Awards/Academy_Awards_USA/2008

2nd award for Daniel Day-Lewis (4 nominations in last 9 movies).

Useless trivia:
"Several times offered and turned down the role of Aragorn (Strider) in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy."

"After Michael Madsen was found to be unavailable for the part, Day-Lewis tried to get the role of Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction (1994), one of the few times he actively pursued a part."

"While filming Gangs of New York (2002) he rarely got out of character and would talk with a New York accent the whole day and would be sharpening his knives at lunch."

Denmark Viggo Mortensen should have gotten the best Actor award :(
A little biased, aren't we? :}
Parent
Of course, but still his acting in Eastern Promises was superb.
Parent
He was pretty convincing in that role, have to admit.
Parent
plus, he is Aragorn!
Parent
I'm pretty convincing when I'm pretending to be Arachon telling stories from the old days!

But in all seriousness, Daniel Day Lewis was better than Mortensen, though both were good.
Parent
indeed. not that the movie was so great but hes acting is top class as always see A history of violence if you havent same director
