Sorry.. had to delete my comment.. I can't type when I've got a raging headcold..so, shall try again. *sigh*
I watched the SAG's live and truly, this was a class act on the part of Daniel Day-Lewis, whom I've long admired. I sat with tears in my eyes at this dedication, after a long stream of SUPPORT THE UNION (via the Writer's Strike) rhetoric. This was a breath, albeit tragic, of fresh air.
Not saying I don't support the writer's, just.. you know. Heath. How truly tragic.
What I loved about this is it felt so genuine and real..Lewis never even meet Heath before and was this moved and effected. I saw the the short thing on Ellen too and man, its still is just so damn raw and sore feeling.
I found Heath and Jake's guest spot on Oprah on youtube and watched it....damn.
^ I agree with these comments. Fully. This brought tears to my eyes, especially when the first time he said Heath's name, because it was perfect. It felt right. And when the audience's applause? I don't know why it actually truly sounded heartfelt. You know what I mean?
Just, I know he was broken up and you could tell he was having trouble with it -- I mean, wouldn't anybody? -- but it did take courage to dedicate his own award to Heath's memory. It also took a heart.
<3. This gives me hope in the [rare] kindness of humanity, especially in Hollywood.
It was nice someone made some type of acknowledgment. That was so freaking sincere and raw and I'm still moved by it..and the fact the Lewis had never even meet Heath before....and was so influenced by the man's work.
Damn. I need to post Heath's visit on Ellen later.
