The article published on the website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21570004 on 23 February 2013, is headlined “Oscars 2013: Daniel Day-Lewis makesHollywood history’. The article is written by Jasper Rees. He describes Daniel Day-Lewis who has made Oscars history by becoming the first man to win the best actor prize three times.

The author makes special emphasize on the fact that Daniel Day-Lewis, who holds UK-Irish citizenship, previously won best actor for My Left Foot (in 1990) and There Will Be Blood (2008) and has a reputation for immersing himself in his roles.This year's victory puts Day-Lewis ahead of Hollywood legends Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Hanks - who all have two best actor wins to their names.

The author notes that Jennifer Lawrence won best actress for her role as a troubled young widow in Silver Linings Playbook. The 22-year-old, who stumbled over her dress on her way to the stage, joked: "You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell over and that's embarrassing."Surveying the audience in Hollywood's Dolby Theatre, she added: "This is nuts." It was the first Oscar win for Lawrence, who was previously nominated for best actress in 2011 for her performance in Winter's Bone. Anne Hathaway won best supporting actress for her role as tragic factory worker Fantine in movie musical Les Miserables. With her cropped hair and gaunt face, Hathaway's teary version of I Dreamed a Dream had made her an Oscar favourite. "It came true," the actress said when she collected her statuette.

The author concludes the article telling the fact that during the section of the show that pays tribute to those who died in 2012, Barbra Streisand sang the late Marvin Hamlisch's The Way We Were, from the 1973 romantic drama in which she starred with Robert Redford. It was Streisand's first Oscars performance for 36 years.

As for me, I think that Oscar is a great invention in the World of cinema! It gives us an ability of rewarding the best actors in different nominations.
