It’s the consolation prize Hugh Jackman fans might have to get used to come Oscars time next month - the lyrical wonder that is a Daniel Day-Lewis acceptance speech.
The Lincoln star turned the Screen Actors Guild stage in Hollywood into a presidential podium yesterday, thanking his peers for the award most Australians wanted to be handed to "our" Jackman for his role in Les Miserables.
Day-Lewis captivated the audience when he collected the Best Actor gong for his role as Abraham Lincoln.
"It was an actor that murdered Abraham Lincoln and therefore it's only fitting, every so often, that an actor tries to bring him back to life," he said. "I've been terribly proud to carry the baton." Unfortunately for Jackman, Day-Lewis is now a near certainty to claim his third Academy Award next month.
Meanwhile, The Sapphires looks set to shine at tomorrow night's AACTA awards after dominating the technical categories presented at The Star yesterday. The hit collected five of the six feature film gongs, including Best Cinematography and Best Costume.
