Oscar history was made by Daniel Day-Lewis who became the first man to win three best actor Oscars. He also won a long standing ovation as he collected his statuette for his intense performace as U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. SOUNDBITE, Daniel Day-Lewis, actor, saying (English): "I really don't know how any of this happened, I do know that I've received so much more than my fair share of good fortune in my life and I'm so grateful to the Academy for this beautiful honour." Jennifer Lawrence was named best actress for playing a feisty young widow in the comedy 'Silver Linings Playbook', tripping up on her dress while approaching the stage. SOUNDBITE, Jennifer Lawrence, actress, saying (English): "You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell and that's really embarrassing, but thank you." Taiwanese director Ang Lee beat front-runner Steven Spielberg in the race for best director for Life of Pi.
