King of the World: Leo breaks the internet with best actor win

The one thing everybody was looking forward to at the Academy Awards 2016 was seeing Leonardo DiCaprio finally take home the award.

Yes, Leo's win was on everyone's mind, including the Oscar nominee's.

So it was no surprise that when Leonardo's name was called out for Best Actor for his role in The Revenant, not only was his Titanic co-star Kate Winslet emotional, but fans took the internet by storm to congratulate the long-deserving actor.

One couldn't get over the #OscarsSoWhite debate

Hopefully Leonardo DiCaprio FINALLY winning an Oscar will pave the way for more white Americans to feature in the #Oscars from now on
