I don’t typically watch award shows, but I stumbled on this speech by Daniel Day-Lewis during a Youtube visit. The speech itself starts about 2:00 into the clip.
Now that’s a tribute. My favorite part is this (click and scroll over the blank space after you’ve watched the clip—it’s better when you hear it first): “It’s always been the work of other actors, and there are many actors in this room tonight, including my fellow nominees, who’ve given me that sense of regeneration. And . . . Heath Ledger gave it to me.”
Absolutely beautiful.

I was incredibly moved by this. I also went to the lineup of clips and happened to click on the Charlie Rose interview with Daniel and Martin Scorcese. It’s been a while since I have seen a Charlie Rose show and it reminded me of why I enjoyed watching his interviews, for the most part. Daniel is an amazing actor. I like his idea of the fallow field. It gives me hope for the future as I think I am in a fallow period at the moment.
