Daniel Day-Lewis: "That's the closest I'll ever come to getting a knighthood [after being presented with the Oscar by Dame Helen Mirren]. My deepest thanks to the members of the Academy for whacking me with the handsomest bludgeon in town.”

Tilda Swinton: "I have an American agent who is the spitting image of this, really truly, the same shape head, and it has to be said, the buttocks. And I'm giving this to him, because there's no way I would be in America, at all, ever, if it wasn't for him. So Brian Swardstrom, I'm giving this to you. George Clooney, you know, the seriousness and the dedication to your art, seeing you climb into that rubber batsuit from Batman and Robin - the one with the nipples - every morning under your costume, on the set, off the set, hanging upside down at lunch. You rock, man."

Joel Coen: "Ethan and I have been making stories with movie cameras since we were kids - honestly, what we do now doesn't feel that much different to what we were doing then."

Marion Cotillard: "Members of the Academy thank you so, so much. I'm speechless, thank you life, thank you love. It is true, there are some angels in this city, thank you so, so much."

Diablo Cody: "This is for the writers. I especially want to thank my fellow nominees. I worship you guys and am learning from you every day. I want to thank Jason Reitman who I consider as one of my family. Most of all I want to thank my family for loving me exactly the way I am."

Joel Coen: "I think whatever success we've had in this area has been entirely attributable to how selective we are. We've only adapted Homer and Cormac McCarthy."

Javier Bardem: "Wow, a great honour, I have to speak fast man. Thank you to the Coens for one of the most horrible haircuts in history. I want to dedicate this to my mother [rapid fire dedication followed in in Spanish]."

Alex Gibney (best documentary winner): "Let's hope we can turn this country around, move away from the dark side, and get back to the light."

Glen Hansard (best song winner): "We made this film two years ago; we shot it on two Handycams. It took us three weeks to make. we made it for a hundred grand. We never thought we'd ever come into a room like this and be in front of you people."

Stefan Ruzowitzky (writer and director of best foreign film): "There've been some great Austrian film-makers working here... most of them had to leave my country because of the Nazis, so it sort of makes sense that the first Austrian movie to win an Oscar is about the Nazis' crimes."

Scott Rudin (producer of No Country For Old Men): "So many people have a part of this, chief among them Cormac McCarthy who wrote a wonderful book that was an honour to make into a movie."
