Delete all of the memes and recycled jokes, because Leonardo DiCaprio has finally won his long overdue Oscar. This is not a drill!
Leo's first nomination came in 1993 for his role in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Since then, he's starred in countless box office smash hits but despite a number of nominations, that elusive Oscar has always eluded him. Until now.
The 41-year-old was awarded the Best Actor award at the 88th Academy Awards for his outstanding portrayal of frontiersman Hugh Glass in Alejandro González Iñárritu's stunning survival and revenge film The Revenant.
The wait is over. Justice has finally been done.
Congratulations, Leonardo DiCaprio, you fucking legend.
