Destiny can be delayed but never denied is an old adage often used to encourage persons going through trying times. That was the case while announcing the winner of the award for Best Actor,
Presenter Julianne Moore, who won Best Actress at last
year’s awards, waited a respectable amount of time before announcing DiCaprio’s name.
Born in 1974, Leonardo Willhelm DiCaprio has starred in
over 24 films, including Gangs of New York and The Basketball Diaries, not forgetting the popular Titanic movie in 1997.
To date, DiCaprio has won over 40 awards and has been
nominated six times for an Oscar. This is his first win at the 2016 Oscars.
He received a standing ovation as he picked up his award.
He said making The Revenant was “about man’s relationship to the natural world”.
“Climate change is real – it is happening right now,” he
said. “It is the most urgent threat right now to our entire
species and we need to work now.
“Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take
tonight for granted.” Congratulations to him once more.
