Leonardo DiCaprio has finally won his first Oscar for survival epic The Revenant, after six nominations.<\/p>\n
He was named best actor at the 88th Academy Awards, with Brie Larson named best actress Oscar for Room.<\/p>\n
Spotlight took home the best picture Oscar with Mad Max: Fury Road picking up the most awards of the night, with six accolades.<\/p>\n
Mark Rylance won the best supporting actor Oscar, with fellow Briton Sam Smith winning best original song.<\/p>\n
Among the winners for Mad Max: Fury Road – which had been nominated for 10 Oscars – was British designer Jenny Beavan, for best costume design.<\/p>\n
The Revenant won three of the 12 awards it was nominated for. Alejandro Inarritu won best director and Emmanuel Lubezki won his third Oscar for cinematography in a row, having won in 2015 for Birdman and 2014 for Gravity.<\/p>\n
DiCaprio received a standing ovation as he picked up his award, having had five acting nominations and one nomination as producer of best picture nominee Wolf of Wall Street.<\/p>\n
He said making The Revenant was “about man’s relationship to the natural world”.<\/p>\n
“Climate change is real – it is happening right now,” he said. “It is the most urgent threat right now to our entire species and we need to work now.<\/p>\n
“Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted.”<\/p>\n
