Popular Hollywood actor, Leonardo Dicaprio received his first Oscars Award on Sunday, taking home the award for Best Actor at the 2016 Oscars .
The talented actor was honored for his work in The Revenant, beating fellow nominees Bryan Cranston (Trumbo), Matt Damon (The Martian), Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs) and Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl).
DiCaprio spoke to reporters backstage after delivering his acceptance speech about how it felt to finally win an Academy Award after receiving his first nomination 22 years ago. In his words, he stated "I felt very honored, quite frankly, this whole thing has been an amazing experience."
41 years old DiCaprio has been nominated for six Academy Awards—five for acting and one for producing—and confessed he was "grateful" to see so many people rooting for him to win. "It all feels incredibly surreal. You know, it's surreal because you can't reach out and physically meet everybody. You hear it on the Internet, you hear it from other people, and, you know, the truth is, we always strive for the best in what we do," he said.
"But this year in particular, I've been overwhelmed with such support—really, truly, by so many fans and so many people in the industry. It's quite shocking, actually. And what can you say except I'm very grateful? I really am."
Well congratulations to the handsome star.
