Leonardo DiCaprio finally wins an Oscar award


Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his first Oscar for his performance on The Revenant on Sunday night, after four previous unsuccessful nominations. The actor used his lengthy acceptance speech to deliver a lecture on climate change, and was able to speak for a longer period than other winners when the producers failed to play 'wrap-it-up' music as he used up hi allotted time.

DiCaprio said: 'Climate change is real. It is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species ... Let us not take our planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted.' Brie Larson, right , took home Best Actress in a Leading Role, beating out Jennifer Lawrence and Cate Blanchett for the top honor.
