‘‘I'd like to see that version,’’ Day-Lewis quipped.

With his win for ‘‘Lincoln,’’ Day-Lewis became the first person to win three best-actor Oscars. Streep has won three Oscars too, one of them as supporting actress.

ONION CRITICIZED FOR JOKE

A tweet from The Onion about the 9-year-old star of ‘‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’’ is drawing criticism for being tasteless, even amid the constant social media satire of the Oscars.

The satirical newspaper called Quvenzhane (kwuh-VEHN'-juh-nay) Wallis an expletive intended to denigrate women. The joke was meant to parody how beloved Quvenzhane is, but many thought the language inappropriate for discussing a child.

The Onion deleted the tweet about an hour after it was posted. Still, that was enough time to create a firestorm online, with many saying the remark crossed a line.

A spokeswoman for The Onion didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Not everyone thought the tweet went too far: It was retweeted more than 500 times and favorited by some 400 before being deleted.

MASTER-FUL EXIT

In recent years, everyone would head for the door as soon as the best picture winner — the last Oscar category in the show — was announced, leaving the winner with an empty room to thank.

This year, organizers hoped to get attendees to stick around until the end of the show for a closing performance from Seth MacFarlane and Kristin Chenoweth, which was dedicated to all the evening’s Oscar losers.

‘‘Ladies and gentleman, we ask that you remain in your seats after the last award for a very special closing number,’’ a female announcer calmly announced during the show’s final commercial break.

Well, one pair of ‘‘losers’’ weren’t interested. ‘‘The Master’’ stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman bolted for the door at the beginning of the song.

THANKING THE ‘MOVIE GOD’

Ang Lee had his priorities in order when he gave one of his first thank you’s to the ‘‘movie god.’’

The Taiwanese director pulled off a huge upset when he won an Academy Award for directing ‘‘Life of Pi.’’ He beat out front-runner and two-time Oscar winner Steven Spielberg.

Lee also gave a shoutout to the shipwreck story’s lead actor, Suraj Sharma, but didn’t thank the rest of the cast by name.

‘‘I cannot waste this time talking about them,’’ he said sheepishly.

He did slip in a quick mention of his agent, his lawyer and of course his wife.

‘‘I have to do that,’’ he said.

THE AVENGERS REUNITE

Just like the superheroes they played in the movie, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson huddled together backstage to get a plan together and of course joke around.

Downey suggested the stars of ‘‘The Avengers’’ bow as they headed onstage to make Oscar presentations. Or perhaps curtsy.

When a show worker asked Jackson to stand still so he could be wired with a microphone, the actor faced a backstage wall and pretended he was being frisked by police.

To pass the time, the superheroes watched Melissa McCarthy and Paul Rudd from a backstage monitor.

Suddenly Ruffalo asked, ‘‘Did we miss our cue?’’

‘‘You want to go out there with them?’’ asked Jackson.

After presenting two awards, the actors returned backstage, where Downey quipped, ‘‘Avengers disassemble.’’

QUICKQUOTE: QUENTIN TARANTINO

‘‘I'm not an American filmmaker. I'm American and I'm a filmmaker, but I make movies for planet Earth"— Quentin Tarantino, tie loosened, talking with his hands and, at one point, drifting into an Australian accent while speaking with reporters backstage after winning the Oscar for original screenplay for ‘‘Django Unchained.’’

KRISTEN STEWART HOBBLED

Kristen Stewart ditched her crutches to hobble onstage as an Oscar presenter, appearing bored and disheveled in the process.
