Description :
Second Oscar crown 'thrills' Daniel
Daniel Day Lewis said he was "thrilled and delighted" by his second Oscar win.
"It will keep me ticking over for a while," he said after his win for Best Actor for film There Will Be Blood, before paying tribute to the film's director Paul Thomas Anderson.
"My working partnership with Paul is something I will cherish for the rest of my life," he said. "I miss working with him every day but we have to think about the fact that life goes on."
The win for Daniel capped a great night for European stars, with American actors going home empty handed.
"There were many great performances by American actors," he said, referring to the European wins. "So I don't know if it serves any purpose to reflect on that."
On hearing his name read out, Daniel embraced George Clooney, who was also nominated in the Best Actor category.
"George has been there for me," he explained. "And apart from anyone else, he was the nearest nominee and he's just so incredibly generous. I was very proud to be included in that group of actors."

Whats the song called.. The one in the beginning?
Kanye West - Half Price
It's also for the Lil' Kim song "Came Back for You." Was Half Price made first?
I've seen a lot of performances, but this one just blew me away, don't ask me why, I just thin he's a gifted actor. If he just wanted to leave his life to enter an ACTOR's life, he'd one of the the best in history. He's special.
the dark knight, no country for old men, and there will be blood are the best movies of the century.
I think DDL might be the best actor ever. TWBB was an incredible feat. Most films pale in comparison. I can't believe No Country beat it for best movie.
Mr freeze is a part that would fit bruce willis our mickey rourke, DDL would be a miscast, freeze would be a waste of his exceptional talent.
I don't agree, I think, with Nolan directing, DDL could create a very tragic character with a lot of depth. But seeing as Mr. Freeze has a lot of unrealistic properties, it's probably not going to happy anyway.
