'King of the world': After winning his first Oscar, Leonardo DiCaprio breaks the internet

This is not a drill. Leonardo DiCaprio has just won the Academy Award for the Best Actor for The Revenant! Finally, the moment has come. After being nominated for Best Actor for 4 films before this (What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, The Aviator, Blood Diamond, and Wolf of Wall Street), he finally breaks his Oscar jinx with The Revenant.

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