The
Daily Telegraph reports
Our last Aussie hopeful Hugh Jackman has
narrowly missed out on the award for Best Actor, pipped at the post by Daniel
Day-Lewis.
Day-Lewis took out the top award for his leading role in Steven
Spielberg's biopic, Lincoln, also beating out Bradley Cooper,
Joaquin Phoenix and Denzel Washington.
Jackman was one of the hot contenders tipped to win the award for his
leading role in Les Miserables.
Fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts on the result:
"Biggest upset: Hugh Jackman did not win the Best Actor. :("
Twitter user @aMrazing posted.
"What the hell! Hugh Jackman should have won that! Rigged. The
Oscars are rigged!" another user fumed.
"I feel bad for Hugh Jackman - delivers the best performance of his
career - any other year, he would have won with that amazing performance!"
a fan Tweeted.
This marks Daniel Day-Lewis' third Oscar win, becoming the first actor
in history to win three Best Actor Oscars.
It's been a less than successful night for Aussie nominees, with Naomi
Watts missing out on Best Actress to fan favourite Jennifer Lawrence.
