When Day-Lewis won at that time, I was upset because I had not seen My Left Foot and I had seen Tom in Born on the 4th of July and Tom Cruise was outstanding. (His scene after coming home drunk, screaming and shouting at his parents about how they shot women and children[in Vietnam] and taking out the catheter and ending the scene by then having to be put in bed by his father as Ron(Tom) sadly whispers, "Who's gonna love me dad? Who's ever gonna love me?") Forget all his current nonsense, he was certainly deserving that year of the spot in the top five and in my mind the Oscar. For that reason, it took awhile before I ever got around to seeing My Left Foot. When I did, I felt the fool for avoiding it for so long. Both were outstanding performances, but Daniel most certainly deserved his Oscar that year. He is just unbelievable. It was a difficult vote, I am sure, but I would have given it to Daniel as well.

I learned a new word today. Atom bomb. It was like God taking a photograph.
