Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

LOS ANGELES – Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar on Sunday for his leading role in revenge movie “The Revenant”.

DiCaprio (41) had been nominated four times previously for an Oscar over a career spanning 25 years.

But he was favourite to finally take home the best actor Academy Award this year for his gruelling portrayal of a fur trapper left for dead in an icy wilderness after being mauled by a bear.

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-lang=”en”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Thank you to the Academy and the incredible cast &amp; crew of <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheRevenant?src=hash”>#TheRevenant</a>. <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Oscars?src=hash”>#Oscars</a></p>&mdash; Leonardo DiCaprio (@LeoDiCaprio) <a href=”https://twitter.com/LeoDiCaprio/status/704176537189412864″>February 29, 2016</a></blockquote>
<script async src=”//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

Meanwhile, Mexico’s Alejandro Iñárritu won the best director Oscar for “The Revenant” .

Iñárritu was the first filmmaker in 60 years to win a back- to-back director’s Oscar. Iñárritu won best director last year for “Birdman,” which also won the 2015 best picture Academy Award.

It was the fourth Oscar for Iñárritu and came as little surprise after he won a Golden Globe, a British BAFTA award and a trophy from the Directors Guild Awards for the film.

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-lang=”en”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Congratulations to the cast and crew of <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheRevenant?src=hash”>#TheRevenant</a> on receiving three awards from <a href=”https://twitter.com/TheAcademy”>@TheAcademy</a>! <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Oscars?src=hash”>#Oscars</a> <a href=”https://t.co/CBa7j2Ekvp”>pic.twitter.com/CBa7j2Ekvp</a></p>&mdash; #TheRevenant (@RevenantMovie) <a href=”https://twitter.com/RevenantMovie/status/704176764864466944″>February 29, 2016</a></blockquote>

Brie Larson won her first Oscar for best actress for her moving portrayal of a young woman held captive for years with a son in the emotional thriller “Room.”

Larson won praise for her role as ‘Ma’ in the film in which she plays an abducted woman patiently seeking ways to escape from a small, dark and oppressive room.

The actress was the front-runner for the honor after winning Golden Globe, BAFTA, Spirit and Screen Actors Guild awards.
