Leonardo DiCaprio wins best actor Oscar

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.
