Finally, Leo is getting the recognition he deserves (other than his lucrative, 27-year career and A-list red carpet status.)

At the 88th Academy Awards on Sunday, Leonardo DiCaprio got to take home the coveted Oscar for Best Actor for his excellent portrayal of real-life, legendary frontiersman Hugh Glass in The Revenant.

Leo had to wander the woods, wrestle bears and sleep inside a horse to make it to the top, but it was all worth it to finally get his golden prize.

Congratulations to Leo, bonafide King of the World.
