Daniel Day-Lewis Wins Best Actor Oscar 2013 for 'Lincoln'!

Daniel Day-Lewis was the big winner in the Best Actor category at the 2013 Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday (February 24) in Hollywood.

The 55-year-old actor, and three time Academy Award winner, received a standing ovation as he took the stage to accept the award for his portrayal of the main character in Lincoln.

He even made a joke during his acceptance speech that he was supposed to play Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, and Meryl Streep, who played that role, was supposed to play Lincoln in Lincoln!

Congratulations Daniel!
