I'm looking forward to seeing Spielberg's Lincoln. From everything I've heard Daniel Day Lewis is amazing. I even saw a news story today with a historian saying it's probably the most accurate interpretation of Lincoln's real voice we'll ever get.
Lewis seems guaranteed to get an Oscar nomination. If he wins, it will be the first time Spielberg will have directed an Oscar winning performance. He's only had 9 actors nominated for 6 different films and only 3 for leading roles. And he hasn't had any nominated in a decade (though that's only been six films, one of which was animated).
