‘Lincoln’ cast lay down law in Dublin

Dublin became a part of Hollywood yesterday when movie stars, directors, celebrities and fully paid-up members of the glitterati attended the European premiere of the new Steven Spielberg movie Lincoln in the city’s Savoy Cinema.

Daniel Day-Lewis, who is tipped to win his third Oscar in a leading role for his portrayal of the late American president in the film, asked the legendary Spielberg to hold the premiere in Ireland as Day-Lewis is on the fundraising committee for the Wicklow Hospice Foundation.

With an after-screening ball in the Burlington Hotel, it soon became the hottest ticket in town.
