Leonardo DiCaprio [1] has only had his Oscar for a short period, but they've already had so many good times together [2]. You can't blame him for being excited; it's been over two decades since he was first nominated [3]. Of course, you can't blame yourself for being excited, either. It's been a long award season leading up to his big moment. We never doubted DiCaprio [4], but that doesn't make his win any less sweet. His speech [5] was epic, and we feel like we can finally exhale. Take a look to see all the emotions you (very likely) have cycled through over the past few months.
