It’s about darn time!
DiCaprio finally gets his Oscar
As of Sunday, February 28, 2016 Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio had won an Oscar.
Aside from the fact that I was prancing around my house yelling and my Instagram feed was filled with pictures and congratulations to him, I couldn’t help but feel bad. The world has waited since his time in Titanic for Leo to win an Oscar but I didn’t want it to seem as though he achieved the award this year because he was cheated last year; hence this post.
The Eight Best Picture Awards for Oscar Films Staring Leonardo DiCaprio:
Titanic: The life Hannah wants to live/ the longest movie every girl has ever seen. It is a must watch for everyone and has a great aesthetic from White Star Lines pride and joy.
