He should have won for In The Name Of The Father. He was incredible in that. I'd have given him it for Gangs Of New York, too. Fantastic actor.

William Laughlin

Kristyanna Virgona, You are mistaken. He won only 3 Oscars. If you disagree, please tell us the film and role for which he won a 4th Oscar.

This question was asked a few days ago, but reversed, " which actor has won 3 Oscars?"

The question needs to be reworded. It's easy for the reader to mistake "as of 2016" to be since 2016 in which case the answer is 0. My question should read: Since the writing of this question in 2016, how many oscars has Daniel Day-Lewis won to date?
