Last 10 Best Actor Oscar Winners

2008: Daniel Day-Lewis won his second Oscar for "There Will Be Blood." We think he'll win again. And again. He could end up being the Hollywood Pete Sampras. (AP)

2007: Forest Whitaker won for "The Last King of Scotland." This year, he presented the nominations. Not as good. (AP)

2006: Philip Seymour Hoffman won for "Capote." He's still going strong, starring in acclaimed movies every year since. Seems like just a matter of time before he nabs his second Oscar. (AP)

2005: Jamie Foxx won for "Ray" and now seems more into his music than his acting. Which is too bad - for the world. (AP)

2004: Sean Penn won for "Mystic River" and is a favorite again in 2009 for "Milk." No slowing down this dude. (AP)

2003: Adrien Brody won for "The Pianist," and has largely disappeared since, with forgettable big-budget follow ups including "King Kong" and "The Village." (AP)

2002: Denzel Washington won for "Training Day," which was weird to begin with, because hardly anyone even saw the film. But he's still working. (AP)

2001: Russell Crowe won for "Gladiator." Now he's filming a Robin Hood movie that's going through lead actresses like a fat man on a plate of cheese fries. (AP)

2000: Kevin Spacey won for "American Beauty" and has been hiding out in London doing theater seemingly ever since. (AP)

1999: Roberto Benigni won for "Life Is Beautiful." He's Italian, so he's just lucky he got the one. (AP)
