Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, and Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln

He won best performance by an actor in a leading role Lincoln (2012)

Accepting the award, Day-Lewis thanked the film’s director, Steven Spielberg, and then paid tribute to the “mysteriously beautiful mind, body and spirit of Abraham Lincoln.”

It took director Steven Spielberg three attempts to persuade Day-Lewis to take on the role of Lincoln.

A pivotal confrontation between two rivals, which takes place in the OCP executive washroom, features a close-up crotch shot of a terrified junior exec wetting his pants. This is followed by Dick’s confession that he once called his boss “Boner” and “Iron Butt”; Jones’s erotically charged caressing of Bob Morton’s perfectly sculpted business hair; and finally, Bob’s breathy repetition of the word “dick” as he and his boss stand nose to nose in the men’s room. RoboCop satirizes the action genre by emphasizing its homoerotic undertones; during Bob and Dick’s bathroom confrontation, they seem just as likely to make out as to punch each other. As the literary scholar Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick famously argued, in typically male settings like the corporate boardroom or the US Senate, the exaggerated performance of heterosexual masculinity also masks an anxiously repressed same-sex desire. In the action film, defined by its violent excess and celebration of “hard bodies,” this desire is everywhere visible, yet nowhere acknowledged.
