Inaccurate information on Best Actor Oscars

In the article it is written "In winning the Best Actor Oscar, Day-Lewis joined Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson as the only Best Actor winner awarded an Oscar in two non-consecutive decades." This is incorrect, as Anthony Hopkins has won the Best Actor Oscar in 1991 for The Silence of the Lambs and in 2020 for The Father. Bakhtary (talk) 19:25, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+== Semi-protected edit request on 11 March 2024 ==
-FIRST EDIT
-Under the 'Early life and education' section, in the second paragraph, you need to delete the second half of it. Please delete the following, it's incorrect: "Day-Lewis had to deal with tough South London children. At this school, he was bullied for being both Jewish and "posh".[20][21] He mastered the local accent and mannerisms, and credits that as being his first convincing performance.[21][22] Later in life, he has been known to speak of himself as a disorderly character in his younger years, often in trouble for shoplifting and other petty crimes.[22][23]"

-== British or English ==
-The citation support for describing this actor as English, rather than British, seems very thin.  The citation attached to the opening sentence of the lead includes a single isolated self-reference to himself as an “Englishman” (which I would casually make of myself), but that fact remains that, legally and by his citizenship, he is British.  Encyclopedia Britannica describes him as a British actor.[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Daniel-Day-Lewis]  As does the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.[https://www.amacad.org/person/daniel-day-lewis] As does Amazon.[https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/b2bstorage.arte.tv/files/ARTE_Daniel_D._Lewis_TREATMENT.pdf] And IMDB.[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000358/trivia/] As does Canadian CBC.[https://www.cbc.ca/archives/daniel-day-lewis-1988-1.5886973] As did the UK Guardian.[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jun/20/daniel-day-lewis-retirement-acting] As did the respected US publication, Hollywood Reporter, announcing his retirement.[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/daniel-day-lewis-says-hes-quitting-acting-1015235/] As did the US Variety website, at around the same time.[https://variety.com/2017/film/news/daniel-day-lewis-retirement-from-acting-why-1202625443/].
-Around the English-speaking world, he is known as a (retired) British actor, and the cited support for describing him as English when he remains a British citizen is extremely thin.  Review the rest of the opening paragraph of our article’s lead, and you will see that these link to a fair few additional citations.  Several of these refer to DDL as British; none to him as English.  MoS policies on biographical articles place a premium on citizenship and deprecate references to nationality or ethnicity.  Hence the case for describing Day-Lewis according to his citizenship appears overwhelming. [[User:MapReader|MapReader]] ([[User talk:MapReader|talk]]) 15:04, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
