We were all amazed at how Daniel Day-Lewis captured Abraham Lincoln in his Oscar-winning star turn. Now it seems he's one-upped himself, reportedly playing Barack Obama in Steven Spielberg's latest presidential bio pic.

OK, reportedly might be too strong a word, since this news broke during the White House Correspondents' Dinner Saturday night in Washington, D.C.

But we've got to say that the actor in the video clip from the event does bear an uncanny resemblance to the current president.

Perhaps even more shocking than how Day-Lewis fully inhabits President Obama—right down to the pigmentation, the accent and the oversized ears—you've got to see how Tracy Morgan pulls out all the stops to play Joe Biden.

It's incredible. Literally.
