Daniel Day Lewis makes history at the Oscars.

At the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night, he was presented with the Oscar for his starring role in Lincoln, which was directed by Steven Spielberg.


Accepting his award from Meryl Streep, an emotional Day-Lewis told the audience: "I really don't know how any of this happened. I do know that I have 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."


He paid tribute to his wife, the author and director Rebecca Miller, and tearfully dedicated the award to his mother, the late actress Jill Balcon.
