Oscars 2013: Daniel Day-Lewis makes Hollywood history
Daniel Day Lewis
Daniel Day-Lewis made Oscar history today - becoming the first man to be named best actor three times.
The recognition for his performance in the title role of Steven Spielberg's biopic of US President Abraham Lincoln puts him above Hollywood legends including Dustin Hoffman and Marlon Brando who both won it twice. Jennifer Lawrence won the Oscar for best actress for her role as a young widow in Silver Linings Playbook.
It was the first Oscar for the 22-year-old, who was previously nominated for best actress in 2011 for her performance in Winter's Bone.
Anne Hathaway won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role as tragic factory worker Fantine in movie musical Les Miserables.
Ang Lee was named best director for Life Of Pi, while Adele triumphed in the best original song category for her Bond theme Skyfall. She thanked her songwriting partner Paul Epworth, who came on stage with her, for "believing in me all the time, and my man, I love you baby". Earlier she had performed the song on stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood - the first time she had ever sung it live.
Picking up the first award of the night, Waltz offered thanks to his character Dr King Schultz and to "his creator and the creator of his awe-inspiring world, Quentin Tarantino."
The Austrian actor won his first Oscar as a Nazi colonel in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds in 2010.
Tarantino won the original screenplay prize for Django Unchained, adding to the Oscar he won for writing Pulp Fiction in 1994.
The other big winners on the night were Anne Hathaway, named best supporting actress for her role in Les Miserables, Jennifer Lawrence who won best actress and Ben Affleck's Argo, which won best film
