dot-matrix:
Daniel Day Lewis is a very fine actor in his own right, very much in the same mold as Heath. He shuns Hollywood and publicity, he lives in Ireland and works as a carpenter between acting jobs and is very picky about his roles.

I believe they would have been friends as well. Those heart felt comments coming from him are a treasure.

A very heartfelt thank you to Eric for posting and to John for putting it on youtube. Being European, I have no other choice than to hope someone will put it online.
(I would also like to see the memorial sequence, so if anyone comes across it, please post the link here.)
DDL is my hero today. I'm so thankful to him for this. It really means a lot, I think to all of us.
This reminds me so much of the awards season two years ago... When BBM and Heath and Jake were honored so often ... when they owned the world and nothing seemed wrong (thanks Laura) ....
God, how I wish I could see their faces somewhere in the crowd this year ....

I second this. Do I ever!
I'm so happy it's out on YouTube, otherwise we'd never get to see that. I was sleeping more easily tonight than any night since I heard the news. I think it must have been DDL vibes doing it. That was a wonderful, moving tribute, - sincerely recounting memories of how Heath's best roles impacted him since he's got no memories of him in RL, and it was so sincere and so perfect. And so honest - he had no reason at all, - especially not DDL who is as far removed from the ordinary celebrity hoopla as it's possible to get - to speak about Heath, exept out of honest admiration.
Thank you Daniel Day Lewis.
Combined with Chris Nolan's in memorian article in Newsweek, equally sincere and low-key though filled with actual memories of Heath.... skateboarding into set in his woolen cap... I feel that Heath is finally getting the respect and tributes he deserves after the indignified, horrid media coverage of the first few days.
Thak you again for putting DDL's acceptance speech up on YouTube. I'm off to watch it again. With tears in my eyes.
