It was the evening Leonardo DiCaprio had been awaiting for the past two decades. But on Sunday it happened, DiCaprio finally won his first Oscar for his role in “The Revenant.”
A video showing DiCaprio waiting for his Oscar to be engraved is receiving a lot of attention. The video was shot at the Governors Ball, held just upstairs from the Oscar Ceremony, which is where Oscar winners have their statuettes engraved.
In the video DiCaprio can be seen asking the person attaching the engraved plague to his Oscar: “Do you do this every year?”
The environmentally minded actor split his acceptance speech between lauding colleagues, including his Oscar-winning director, Alejandro Inarritu, and calling for action to combat global warming.
