After six nominations, Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his well deserved Academy award on Sunday night. He is perhaps the greatest actor of our time, and the fact that he had not won an Oscar is a damn travesty. After he didn't win anything for "Titanic," everyone was like "Get 'em next year, young man!" Then when he didn't win for "The Aviator" or "The Departed" everyone was like "Wow, he got robbed!" And then he proceeded to not win for "Blood Diamond," "Shutter Island," "Inception," and "Django Unchained" and everyone was all "WTF?"
The only explanation is that when Leo was 21 years old an elderly witch must have cast a spell on him for 20 years of bad luck. And now, at the beautiful age of 41, that spell has been broken, shattered, and banished as Mr. DiCaprio stood upon that stage holding that little golden hardbody.
He won for "The Revenant."
He won for being him.
He won for all of us, and now, the world can finally return to normal.
