Leo waiting for his Oscar to be engraved is incredible
He had been nominated five times before finally winning the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in “The Revenant”. Hardy wasn’t about to pass up an opportunity to get a selfie with world-renowned superstar and recently recognized Academy Award victor Leonardo. It was because of that movie that they attended other red carpet events together, like the premiere of Revolutionary Road in 2008 and the Golden Globes in 2009. At the 88th Academy Awards, we saw the reunion of Leo and Kate and it is simply adorable! They met when he was just 22 and Winslet was just 21.
He was then nominated for Best Actor (The Aviator) in 2004. DiCaprio’s and Winslet’s love for each other, even if it’s only friendly, is undeniable.
DiCaprio is still trending at No. 2 on Twitter in the US this morning amid social media cries of “Finally!” and photoshopped snaps of him embracing an Oscar.
Though some of Hollywood’s stars have made a decision to boycott the award show due to the lack of diversity in this year’s nominees, Winslet said she was not going to miss the night for two major reasons. So were DiCaprio’s devoted fans! Stunning blonde model Erin Heatherton, who dated the actor back in 2012, clearly holds no grudges against her former beau. “I mean, literally, people in the street go, ‘Hey Kate, you know it’s Leo’s year, ‘ and I’m like, ‘Hip, yeah!”
Engraving at the Oscars after-party is an annual tradition, but this was the first year DiCaprio was able to have his own award personalized. “Are you conscious of how many people are supporting you, and how does it feel that people care so much that you get this Oscar?” he added. But I think, you can sort of feel the temperature. “After years and years of hard work, this is the end of it all”, he told Robin. “It’s bittersweet as well”. So she might understand a little about DiCaprio’s situation.
