Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis shared a private word with 'The Queen' after receiving his award from Dame Helen Mirren and joking: "That's the closest I'll ever come to a knighthood."
The smiling pair had a laugh together as they left the stage following Daniel's unusually brief acceptance speech.
Daniel had been hot favourite to win Best Actor for his performance as murderous oil man Daniel Plainview in 'There Will Be Blood'. And when he reached the stage he bowed down in front of Dame Helen, who won an Oscar for 'The Queen'.
He thanked the Academy "for whacking me with the handsomest bludgeon in town".
The star added: "I have been thinking a lot about fathers and sons in the course of this and would like to accept this in memory of my grandfather Michael Balcon, my father Cecil Day-Lewis and my three fine boys."
