![Daniel Day Lewis]()
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.![Forrest Whitaker]()
2007: Forest Whitaker won for "The Last King of Scotland." This year, he presented the nominations. Not as good.![Phillip Seymour Hoffman]()
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.![Jamie Foxx]()
2005: Jamie Foxx won for "Ray" and now seems more into his music than his acting. Which is too bad - for the world.![Sean Penn]()
2004: Sean Penn won for "Mystic River" and is a favorite again in 2009 for "Milk." No slowing down this dude.![Adrien Brody]()
2003: Adrien Brody won for "The Pianist," and has largely disappeared since, with forgettable big-budget follow ups including "King Kong" and "The Village."![Denzel Washington]()
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.![Russell Crowe]()
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.![Kevin Spacey]()
2000: Kevin Spacey won for "American Beauty" and has been hiding out in London doing theater seemingly ever since.![Roberto Benigni]()
1999: Roberto Benigni won for "Life Is Beautiful." He's Italian, so he's just lucky he got the one.Last 10 Best Actor Oscar Winners
