Yes Internet, you are not dreaming, that headline is true; Leonardo DiCaprio has finally won his first, long overdue Oscar. And I’m sure the Internet is more excited about that than DiCaprio himself, it has been a long running joke about his (previous) inability to receive an Oscar.
After six nominations, Leonardo DiCaprio can finally add that one elusive trophy to his collection. The movie giving him this honor is The Revenant, his latest cinema excursion. The Revenant also took home several other awards, including Best Director for Alejandro Iñárritu.
In winning this award, Leonardo DiCaprio beat out Matt Damon (The Martian), Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl), Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs), and the always lovable Bryan Cranston (Trumbo).
Boasting a film career spanning for over 20 years, Leonardo DiCaprio is certainly an individual who deserves this award. Here’s to hoping there are many more fantastic roles and many more deserving awards coming his way in the future, for all our benefits.
