This Is Why Leonardo Dicaprio Actually Deserved His Oscar

Despite being nominated not once, not twice, but five times, for three different categories (Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Supporting Actor), Leo DiCaprio had never come out on top -- before this year.

In light of his 2016 Academy Awards nomination and win for Best Actor for his role in The Revenant, here are just a few of the many reasons why Leo truly did deserve that Oscar, whether he needed it or not. (And if for some inexplicable reason you have yet to see any of these movies, drop everything you're doing and watch them all immediately - you'll thank me later.)

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) - Arnie Grape

Nominated: Best Supporting Actor

Titanic (1997) - Jack Dawson

The Aviator (2004) - Howard Hughes

Nominated: Best Actor

The Departed (2006) - Billy

What kind of world do we live in where Leo Dicaprio of all people had never won an Oscar before 2016?

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
