'Do you do this every year? I wouldn't know' - Leonardo DiCaprio pokes fun at Oscars drought as he has award engraved
Leonardo DiCaprio has proved he has a sense of humour about years of being rejected by the Academy when he was overheard joking about his awards drought.
The Revenant star was waiting for his award to be engraved at the Governors Ball, the Academy's official after-party, when he struck up conversation with the woman etching his long-awaited gong.
"Do you do this every year?," the 41-year-old asks her. "I wouldn't know."
The star has been nominated for Oscars on six previous occasions, but he finally scooped the Best Actor gong for his gritty portrayal of fearless bear trapper Hugh Glass surviving in brutal conditions in 19th century America.
