Daniel Day Lewis set an Academy Awards record as the third person to ever win three Best Actor awards. “Lincoln,” while nominated for 12 awards, only won two. “Life of Pi,” which snagged 11 nominations from the Academy, won four Oscars on Sunday night.

Fifteen years since his win for “Good Will Hunting,” Ben Affleck took the stage when “Argo” won Best Picture at the end of the evening, telling the audience: “I never thought I’d be back here. And I'm here.”

In the four hour ceremony, host Seth MacFarlane made the audience laugh (and groan) at his punchlines. His protégé Teddy Bear, “Ted” even appeared on stage to present an award with co-star Mark Wahlberg.

Adele performed her hit song “Skyfall” as a tribute to the James Bond movie franchise’s 50th anniversary this year, and the song won the Oscar for Original Song. Additionally, Norah Jones performed her Oscar-nominated song “Everybody Needs a Best Friend” from the movie “Ted.” And, for the first time in over three decades, Barbara Streisand performed at the Oscars, delivering a tribute to the late Marvin Hamlisch.

The movie “Chicago” celebrated its 10th anniversary of their Oscar win this year, and the cast reunited on the Oscar stage to perform during a celebration of movie musicals that have impressed audiences over the last decade. In that montage, Jennifer Hudson performed a song from her movie “Dream Girls,” and the cast of “Les Miserables,” including Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman, reunited on stage as well.
