10 Oscar Winners Prove That the Academy is Obsessed with Appearances

8. Daniel-Day Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis spent over a year preparing for his role in 2012’s Lincoln. Day-Lewis admits that he felt very connected to the iconic president after doing extensive research through photos, novels, and biographies. He also practiced and perfected Lincoln’s high-pitched voice for many months. Day-Lewis commented on his transformation saying, “Without sounding unhinged, I know I’m not Abraham Lincoln. I’m aware of that. But the truth is the entire game is about creating an illusion, and for whatever reason, and mad as it may sound, some part of me can allow myself to believe for a period for time without questioning, and that’s the trick.” His unending dedication to the film role earned him the Academy Award that year.
