A Year in Review 2016
Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar this year for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Academy Awards this year after 6 failed nominations. In his acceptance speech he was quick to thank all who had helped him there. “I have to thank everyone from the very onset of my career,” Leo stated, and continued on to thank Mr. Jones (the man who cast Leo in his first movie role), Mr. Scosese (taught him cinematic arts), and of course his parents.
