Leonardo DiCaprio Wins Best Actor

Yes, the issue of diversity may have come up a few times too many through the whole show.

He quipped: "Man, I counted at least fifteen black people on that montage". He confessed that he considered bowing out as host but concluded, "The last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart". "You're right. It's also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!". "No. It's a different type of racist". "Hollywood is sorority racist".

"I'm sure there were no black nominees one of those years and black people did not protest".

Leonardo DiCaprio finally bagged an Oscar today at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles after winning the best actor Academy Award for his performance in the survival epic "The Revenant".

"Making "The Revenant" was about man's relationship in the natural world..." Climate change is real, it is happening now. And we need to work collectively to stop procrastinating on it. Thank you all for this unbelievable award tonight. Do not take this planet for granted.

On the other hand, Norwich City are in crisis mode, having only picked up one point in their last six league games. Ranieri said: "He felt something to his hamstring". "I told my players that it will be a big battle on Saturday".

Officials at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have been under fire since last month (Jan16), when it was revealed that no African-Americans had been nominated for the top acting or directing categories for the second consecutive year.

"I want to dedicate this to the LGBT community all around the world".

" "Rocky" takes place in a world where white athletes are as good as black athletes", he said.

"I am very lucky to be here tonight but unfortunately, many others haven't had the same luck... When you're hanging from a tree, it's really hard to care about best documentary short". "The Revenant" also received a win for its maverick cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki.

The controversial Oscar host then told a story about attending a fundraiser at the White House, and telling the President that his fellow - white - showbiz guests "don't hire black people and they're the nicest white people on earth; they're liberals".

"Jada got mad. Jada said she's not coming".

"Spotlight", an account of the Boston Globe's tenacious reporting into how the local Roman Catholic diocese protected pedophile priests, won only two trophies, but one statuette mattered the most: best picture.

"This film gave a voice to survivors", producer Michael Sugar said.

"We would not be here today without the heroic efforts of our reporters".

Rock asked why there was a protest this year, and not, say, in the 1950s and early '60s. Mark Rylance won for best supporting actor for "Bridge of Spies", beating favored Sylvester Stallone from "Creed". "They're not going to cancel the Oscars because I quit, you know?"
