Leonardo DiCaprio actually wins an Oscar (plus all the other winners)!
Tonight something happened that no one thought possible. The Academy actually gave Leonardo DiCaprio an Oscar. Yes, it's finally happened. The actor's performance in The Revenant won the Academy over, but sadly he didn't take any of my acceptance speech suggestions to heart.
Other winners include Alejandro González Iñárritu for Best Directing, Spotlight for Best Picture, and Brie Larson for Best Actress. Mad Max: Fury Road also cleaned up with 6 wins for everything from Best Film Editing to Best Costume Design. Sadly Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Martian fail to win a single award, but hey, there's always next year, right? Check all the winners below...
