Those victories were for “My Left Foot” (1989), “There Will Be Blood” (2007), and “Lincoln” (2012). One of the most respected actors of his generation, Day-Lewis is the only man who has won three Oscars for Best Actor. His final performance in Paul Thomas Anderson‘s “Phantom Thread” (2017) brought Day-Lewis his sixth Oscar nomination, his eighth Golden Globe nom and his seventh BAFTA bid (losing all three to Gary Oldman for “Darkest Hour”). In the summer of 2017, Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis surprised Hollywood, London and the entire entertainment world when he revealed that he retired from acting and would make no more films.
