AWARD// ‘Titanic’ star Leonardo Di Caprio, won his first Oscar for ‘The Revenant’. He was nominated five times in the past, but managed to after break the jinx. He was sixth time lucky as he was named best actor at the 88th Academy Awards, with Brie Larson named best actress Oscar for ‘Room’.

Leonardo’s victory came as little surprise and was gripped with a sense of déjà vu since it brought back the memories of Bafta award ceremony, where the audience had more or less similar reactions. Leo’s best pal and co-star Kate Winslet had similar expressions on her face as she did when Leonardo walked up the stage to receive Bafta earlier. Leonardo got a standing ovation as he walked up to grab an Oscar. In the last several years, Leonardo was nominated five times for his work, but had always missed the mark. He previously got nominated five time-four times for acting and once as a producer. The movies include ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ in 2014 for Best Actor and Best Picture, ‘Blood Diamond’ in 2007 (Best Actor), ‘The Aviator’ in 2005 (Best Actor) and ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ in 1994 (Best Supporting Actor).
