Aiming Point
In the least surprising win of the night, Daniel Day-Lewis was named the best leading actor in a dramatic role. He was halting, smashing and effecting in receiving the award. Instead of merely saying he was humbled, he clearly demonstrated. “It has always been the work of my fellow actors, including my fellow nominees, who have given me a sense of regeneration.”
“Heath Ledger gave it to me,” he said. “We wanted to follow him and yet we were afraid to follow him.”
“In Brokeback Mountain, he was unique. He was perfect. The scene in the trailer at the end of the movie was as moving as anything we have ever seen. I‘d like to dedicate this award to him.”
(Is it too small of me to say: take THAT Philip Seymour Hoffman! Hah!)

well, I'm crying just reading his speech...
Shasta542:
I hope DDL knows or finds out how much his dedication to Heath meant to an awful lot of people.
Shasta542:
I don't think that's the whole speech either -- he said something about Monster's Ball before the following part.
delalluvia:
DDL is a class act.
What a bright moment in this week of shadow and sorrow.
adrian:
When I replayed the memorium, I listened more closely. When the music stopped, and Heaths picture was displayed I heard a quiet 'sigh' from a few of the audience members. It was faint, but it was there, and it was touching.
