Leonardo DiCaprio has only had his Oscar for a short period, but they've already had so many good times together. You can't blame him for being excited; it's been over two decades since he was first nominated. 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, but that doesn't make his win any less sweet. His speech 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.
