In case you've not heard the news, Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar for his role in The Revenant at last night's ceremony in Hollywood.
Considering he's been nominated four times previously, it's no secret that pretty much the entirety of the world's population believes the actor should have already won a trophy whether for his roles in The Aviator (2004) or The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).
In fact, the Academy's failure to reward DiCaprio has become Hollywood's longest-running joke - so much so that many expected him to allude to these previous failures in his acceptance speech. Instead, he focused on a subject close to his heart: climate change.
Beforehand, however, DiCaprio had kind words to say about his Revenant co-star, Tom Hardy.
