But it sounds as though DDL more than made up for it. Heartfelt respect from an admirer of Heath's work, from someone who hadn't even known Heath personally... what's Tolkien's line about the praise of the praiseworthy again? (Meryl? Mikaela?)

Spoken by Faramir:  "The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards."

Thanks for reminding me of it, Mel.  So true.  8)

How perfect.  Than you Meryl.

Faramir. That's it. Thanks, Meryl.

(Shit. Now I'm wishing that I could see Heath play Faramir. Dear brain: stop it, ok? Just stop.)

I'm guessing that we now know at least one person who voted for Heath for the Oscar two years ago...
Watch out. That poster has a low startle point.

That was so sad.

Oh, wow, that acceptance speech really was wonderful. (And the other actors nodding and clapping, too.)

Will you put the video link in its own thread? It's so great.

Thank you for posting, Eric. Thank you for the video, BayCityJohn.

Heartbreaking and heartwarming speech and dedication, Daniel Day-Lewis.

I just want to express my newfound appreciation for Daniel Day Lewis.

I had been getting kind of fed up with all the hype he's been getting (though I probably shouldn't judge--I haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet), but I think that rough times like these really bring out the person within, and DDL is showing himself to be not only a truly decent human being, but a real class act. I'm so glad he did that.
