There’s already Oscar buzz circulating over Daniel Day-Lewis’s brilliant portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s film, “Lincoln.” Now Day-Lewis will receive The Montecito Award at The Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

After a historic holiday week at the box office, let’s see if the new releases or the holdovers won the week.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt offers an insider’s view of what it’s like to work with the talented Daniel Day-Lewis, an actor who is known for his methodical commitment to his roles.

Steven Spielberg’s upcoming release “Lincoln” will debut at the AFI festival on Thurs. Nov. 8.

The new poster of “Lincoln,” featuring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th president of the United States, has been unveiled.
Daniel Day-Lewis is currently filming the Steven Spielberg-directed biopic “Lincoln,” and the Irish actor was recently photographed out looking every bit the part of our 16th president. With his combed-back coif, perfectly groomed whiskers and stern expression, Day-Lewis is a convincing Lincoln doppelganger.
“Lincoln” boasts a cast that includes Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field and Joseph Gordon-Levitt; historian Doris Kearns Goodwin has also provided her expertise throughout.
Last November, Daniel Day-Lewis prepared for his role in “Lincoln” with a tour of Illinois, including the Lincoln Home, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and the Old State Capitol. Do you plan to see the film when it comes out in 2012?
