Daniel Day-Lewis was named best actor at the Academy Awards for his performance in oil prospecting drama There Will Be Blood.
The star collected his award from Dame Helen Mirren, and joked about her performance in the Queen.
"This is the closest I'll ever come to getting a knighthood," he said.
Tilda Swinton was the UK's other big winner, taking best supporting actress for her role in Michael Clayton.
But it was the Coen Brothers' No Country For Old Men that won the night's main prizes - best film and best director.
