When Leonardo didn't have an Oscar, you couldn't go on Facebook or Twitter without coming across a meme with his faced splashed across it.
Remember? No? Well, here's some little reminders just for you.





Then, like a miracle, Leo was honoured with an Oscar for his role in The Revenant.
It gave the Internet a collective sigh of relief. Finally, he was given what he deserved.
But wait, what memes were we supposed to make now?
There were some attempts at new angles:


But it wasn't the same. Game over, man.
Game over.
Since then, we've been mindlessly trying to fill the 'Leo can't get an Oscar' meme-shaped hole in our hearts.
We've had Harambe, dat boi, evil Kermit, angery, Trump draws, Hollywood sign, cash me outside.
But the biggest of 2017 so far has to be Salt Bae.
Who is he? Well, his name is Nusret Gökçe and he's a Turkish chef. You've probably seen him splashed all over the Internet.
His latest Instagram post has really got people talking as it features DiCaprio.
He looks mesmorised by Salt Bae's seasoning of his steak. So much so, that many people have been questioning if he was drunk at the time.
Salt Bae's got so popular that he's managed to get hold of his own steakhouse in New York, with rumours of other restaurants opening soon.
The power of the meme, people.
So, in celebration of Salt Bae's achievements, here are our favourites:
