Room's Jacob Tremblay is 9-years-old, and this is his first awards circuit, but don't for a second think that he's not a seasoned awards season veteran, and Leonardo DiCaprio has noticed.

The actor took the stage with his co-star Brie Larson -- with steps so he could reach the podium -- and assured us he will continue to kill it on the red carpet, saying "it’s awards season, I’ve been working the circuit.

"The first time I was nominated for a SAG Award, I was only 9 years old and I was up against Batman," he said, before Larson pointed out that he was referring to this year.

The actor handed out the award for Best Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries to Idris Elba, who beat him out for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role earlier in the evening. But there's no bad blood there, and the two hugged it out.

Some guy named Leo is a fan.

Tremblay is also prepping very hard to make sure he's in top-form to present at the Academy Awards. After he finishes his homework, of course.
