Daniel Day-Lewis won the Best Actor Oscar for 'Lincoln' -- his third such trophy, which set a new record.

Jennifer Lawrence didn't beat Meryl this time ... but only because Streep wasn't nominated for anything at the 2013 Oscars. Instead, J-Law beat Jessica Chastain, Quvenzhané Wallis, Naomi Watts and Emmanuelle Riva to win Best Actress. And she fell down.

Christoph Waltz landed his second Oscar win for his role as Best Supporting Actor as German bounty hunter in the controversial Western 'Django Unchained.'
