Will Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Win An Oscar?

And more importantly, what will happen to those memes mocking him about it?

Will Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Win An Oscar?

On Jan. 30, Leonardo DiCaprio won the Screen Actors Guild award for Best Actor for his role as 19th century fur trapper Hugh Glass in "The Revenant." In it, DiCaprio's character ends up being mauled by a bear and left for dead by his own huntsmen. While I have not seen the film yet, based on the trailer alone, I would be surprised if the film is not up for Oscars in other categories like Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, and Best Director.

This is the first time that DiCaprio has won a Screen Actors Guild award, though he has been nominated many times, including for his roles in "J. Edgar," "The Departed," and "The Aviator." While this is a huge accomplishment in itself, this also means a lot for DiCaprio in terms of his odds for winning the Oscar for Best Actor this year. For the past ten years in a row, the same actor that has won the SAG award has gone on to win the Oscar as well.

This is big news. Leonardo DiCaprio has been notorious for just barely not getting an Oscar. In fact, the Internet has jokingly mocked him for it by creating dozens of memes about it. If he wins, what will happen to all of the Leonardo DiCaprio Oscar-related memes like these?

I suppose Internet users will have to find someone else to create tons of memes about. If you think about it, it is much better for people to be outraged that Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't won an Oscar than for people to be outraged that he had. Regardless, it seems like the movie has incredible reviews, so I encourage everyone to check it out. Tune in to see how it plays out for Leonardo DiCaprio on Feb. 28 on ABC.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
