After all, everybody knows he deserved that award.

I mean I get that Phoenix is just being self-deprecating and wanted to say that DDL was great in Lincoln, but it always bothers me when award recipients do that in this way, especially when the only single out one of the other nominees. It's not Phoenix's job to decide who is deserving of the London Critic's Circle Award. It's their job, and to suggest they haven't seen Lincoln in the cheeky way Phoenix did comes off as pretentious and condescending.

Overall I thought this was a really nice speech. Too often directors and co-stars get thanked but never the working stiff who who do all the real donkey work – it's really nice that at least one actor recognises their hard work personally and publicly. Good for Phoenix.

You're an idiot. Obviously him saying "up and coming" was a joke. He was showing Daniel Day Lewis respect by acknowledging him and directing us to see his movie. Furthermore, Phoenix has received a "nod" from the Academy for Gladiator and Walk the Line. (nom.)

This was a clear cut blast, is he forgetting the two Oscars Daniel Day Lewis has already won for stellar performances while already being a shoe in for this years, not to mention Mr. Phoenix has never received a nod from the Academy.

Well deserved. And nice speech indeed.

AND in Gladiator.

This note won't make the rounds like his "awards are bullshit" comment unfortunately, as it's always first report, move on.
