With the Oscars dominating the movie world just now, here is a Hot Press encounter with a former winner, Daniel Day Lewis, who picked up the gong for best actor in Jim Sheridan's acclaimed My Left Foot, the story of the disabled Irish writer Christy Brown.

Conducted by Neil McCormick in 1994, this interview finds Day Lewis in typically enigmatic form on the eve of that year's Oscars, for which he had received another nomination, this time for his role as Gerard Conlon in Sheridan's In The Name Of The Father – an account of the miscarriage of justice case known as The Guildford Four. This time Day Lewis didn't get the prize.
