2016: the year Leonardo DiCaprio Oscar memes died. I do not know about you, but that fills my heart with so much joy. It's been 22 years since Leo was first ever nominated for an Oscar. In 1993, he was first nominated for "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" for Best Supporting Actor. Since then, Leo has been nominated for movies such as "Blood Diamond" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," which all, in my opinion, deserved that little gold man. But the day has finally come: Leo won a 2016 Oscar for his role in "The Revenant."

The movie stars DiCaprio as Hugh Glass, a legendary frontiersman. It takes place in an 1823 forest where Glass ends up getting attacked by a bear then abandoned by his team. The rest of the movie is about Glass trying to make it back to his family alive but also get revenge on the people who did him wrong. The film is filled with intense action and gore which helped it make $361.2 million in the box office. "The Revenant" received 12 nominations including Actor in a Leading Role, which DiCaprio won.

Though I have yet to watch this award-winning film, I know that DiCaprio truly deserved to win an Oscar. If you are like me, you probably said, "It's about time, Old Sport" when you saw him win. In the future, I truly see him taking over all the awards and just kicking major a**. Put DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in a movie together again and just let the movie magic happen. DiCaprio won't be letting go of this Oscar anytime soon, nor should he. Congratulations Leonardo DiCaprio on finally winning an Oscar.
