Leonardo DiCaprio Wins His First Oscar for 'The Revenant': 'I Do Not Take Tonight For Granted'

The sixth time's a charm!

Leonardo DiCaprio won Best Actor for The Revenant at the 2016 Oscars, marking the 41-year-old's first victory at the awards show.

After a standing ovation, Leo graciously accepted his award, saying "The Revenant was a product of the unbelievable cast and crew."

Striking a more serious tone, the Oscar winner used much of his acceptance speech to address the issue of climate change, saying, "Making The Revenant was about man's relationship to the natural world."

"Climate change is real, it is the most urgent threat facing our species," he added. "Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted."

"But I hope this night he gets what he's really deserved a long time," the director added.
