Go home Denzel. You’re drunk. Daniel Day Lewis is my favorite actor. Good for him. ETA: Acting is under rated. I mean, I really do forget sometimes how actors TRANSFUCKINGFORM. I look at this man and I don’t see a droplet of Daniel Plainview. Really impressive. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Phoenix looks pissed, just shaking his head no at the nomination. Did he just wake up from a nap or something? What was that all about?
