Will The Revenant Give Leonardo DiCaprio His First Oscar?

"The Revenant" won Leonardo DiCaprio his first BAFTA award for Best Actor and also the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Will it win him his first Oscar?

Sunday night tomorrow may be DiCaprio's finest moment so far as he competes for the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role at 88th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center., hosted by African American actor Chris Rock for the second time after hosting the 77th ceremony in 2005.
The other nominees are Bryan Cranston as Dalton Trumbo in "Trumbo", Matt Damon as Mark Watney in "The Martian", Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs in "Steve Jobs" and Eddie Redmayne as Lili Elbe in "The Danish Girl'.
In fact, I feel that Leonardo DiCaprio should have won the Oscar for Best Actor for Randall Wallace"s "The Man in the Iron Mask" of 1998 and as Howard Hughes in Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" of 2004, but he did not win. Now he is my favourite to win the Oscar for Best Actor for his challenging role as frontiersman and fur trapper Hugh Glass in Alejandro G. Iñárritu's "The Revenant" with his fifth Oscar nomination.
