Daniel Day-Lewis Is Finally Back, and This Is the Director He Should Team Up With To Make Oscars History

Daniel Day-Lewis, one of the greatest and most celebrated actors of all time, announced that he was stepping away from Hollywood in 2017 after starring in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread (for which he earned his sixth Best Actor nomination from the Academy Awards). However, the opportunity to star in Anemone, the first film directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, convinced him to get back in the game, and now the floodgates are hopefully open for a new era of knock-out Daniel Day-Lewis acting performances — giving him a chance to become the most celebrated male actor in the history of the Oscars.
