CLOTHED IN IMMENSE POWER! YOU WILL PROCURE ME THESE VOTES: Oscar trivia that's news to me—if he wins for Lincoln, Daniel Day-Lewis would become the first actor/actress ever to win an Oscar for a performance in a Spielberg film.
The obvious question is who, if anyone, should've been first: I'll submit Ralph Fiennes for Schindler's List (lost to Tommy Lee Jones, The Fugitive), but that's about it -- I considered Tom Hanks for SPR, but while Benigni won there (and not undeservedly), Edward Norton's superior American History X performance was also in the category. I've never actually seen The Color Purple, so ... has the Academy gotten this right so far?
