He is also the first person since George Stevens in 1957 to win two directing awards without his film winning Best Picture, and this is the 22nd time in Oscar history there is a Picture-Director split.

    Five years to the day of his second win, Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln) became the first man to win Best Actor three times. He joins Walter Brennan, Ingrid Bergman, Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep as three-time winners; Katharine Hepburn leads everyone with four wins. Day-Lewis is also the first person to win an acting award in a Spielberg film and the first to win for playing a president.

    Silver Linings Playbook's Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress, ensuring that her film — the first in 31 years to get a nomination in all four acting races — would not go home empty-handed.
