Four actors can have the honor in this next oscars gala to receive their third statuette, Daniel Day-Lewis, Denzel Washington, Sally Field and Robert De Niro.
Daniel Day-Lewis It is, of these four, the one with the most chances of winning the Academy Award again, he is the great favorite in the best actor category, having won more awards than anyone in the Oscar race.
The British actor has won, among many awards, the Golden Globe and the National Board of Review for his role in «Lincoln«.
Daniel Day-Lewis won his first Oscar in 1989 for "My Left Foot" and in 2007 he repeated for his role in "Wells of Ambition", both as best leading actor.
One of his rivals for the Oscar in this new edition is Denzel Washington, actor who also aspires to his third statuette for his role in Flight.
Washinton received his first award at these awards in 1989 for "Times of Glory", the same year that he received his first Day-Lewis award, although in his case it was for best supporting actor. In 2002 he would receive the best lead actor for "Training Day."
Sally fieldDaniel Day-Lewis' co-star in "Lincoln" is the great favorite for the Oscar for best supporting actress, winning the award would be her third Academy Award after winning the award in 1979 for "Norma Rae" and in 1984 for "En un lugar del corazón", both for best leading actress. It is Field's third nomination for these awards and he has a good chance of making it full.
Robert De Niro He is the fourth performer who has a chance of getting his third statuette for his role in "Silver Linings Playbook", although he seems to have little chance against Tommy Lee Jones and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, big favorites.
The actor got his first statuette in 1972 as a supporting actor for "The Godfather II" and won the award again in 1980, this time as the lead actor for "Wild Bull."
