Twitter Reacts To Leo FINALLY Bagging That Oscar

Leonardo DiCaprio has won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his starring role in the critically acclaimed The Revenant. It was the first time Leo picked up the award, with the audience, fans (and Leo’s mum who attended as his date), waiting in anticipation for the announcement on the night. When Julianne Moore finally called his name, the humble actor thanked fellow nominees, the cast and crew of The Revenant and former directors including Martin Scorcese. He even took to Twitter to thank the Academy for the honour:

Thank you to the Academy and the incredible cast & crew of #TheRevenant. #Oscars
