Leonardo #DiCaprio receives standing ovation after winning #GoldenGlobe for best actor 

#London : #Leonardo DiCaprio has won the Golden Globe for best actor in a film drama for his role in The Revenant.

There was a standing ovation, cheers and wolf whistles as the actor took to the stage to accept the prize.

When the applause died down, DiCaprio said: “What an incredible honour, that meant so much. Thank you so much.

“Two years ago we found ourselves submerged deep in nature with all its complications and all the beauty that it gave us cinematically.

“This film was about survival, adaptation and the triumph of the human spirit and more importantly it was about trust. There is nobody more deserving of that trust than Alejandro Inarritu.

“I’ve never had an experience like this in my entire life. The depths he went to are unfathomable.”

Earlier in the evening Inarritu received the award for best director.

DiCaprio was a very popular winner

DiCaprio said he wanted to share the award with all of the First Nation people who starred in the film, which is about legendary frontiersman Hugh Glass and set in 1823.

The Revenant was also named the best drama at the star-studded event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
