DANIEL Day-Lewis and Tilda Swinton swept Britain to Oscar glory today while No Country For Old Men was the biggest film of the ceremony.
Day-Lewis, 50, as predicted, won his second best actor Academy Award for his towering performance as a ruthless, malevolent oilman in There Will Be Blood.
Swinton, 47, landed the best supporting actress gong for her role as a ruthless corporate lawyer in the George Clooney movie Michael Clayton.
The 80th Academy Awards named French actress Marion Cotillard as best actress for her role as singer Edith Piaf in the biopic La Vie en Rose.
The 32-year-old beat Julie Christie to the title just weeks after her surprise victory over the British veteran at the Baftas.
The film that dominated the night at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre was No Country For Old Men, the Coen brothers' violent neo-western.
It won four of its eight nominations, beating British film Atonement to best picture, and scooping best director.
It also took the prize for best supporting actor for Spanish actor Javier Bardem, and adapted screenplay.
