Oscars: 4 Ways To Win An Academy Award

Option 4: Annoy Your Co-Stars

my left foot Daniel Day-Lewis is the king of this technique. While filming My Left Foot, in which he played someone afflicted by cerebral palsy who could only move his left foot, he refused to leave his character's wheelchair, and had to be carried around the set, up and down stairs, and over the wires for cameras and lighting. During filming of 1996's The Crucible, he refused to bathe or shower, claiming it wouldn't fit with his character. Finally, when filming In The Name Of The Father, he locked himself in an abandoned prison cell and made people scream abusively at him and throw water on him. Although they may have enjoyed that one a little bit. And that brings us to a close for this article. I hope you're all able to learn something from this. And when you win your first Academy Award, be sure to mention me by name in your acceptance speech. You're welcome. Before commenting, please bear in mind this article is for humorous purposes.
