Now a six-time Oscar nominee, Leonardo DiCaprio is up for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for The Revenant?and this is his year.

He also had to learn to shoot a musket, build a fire, speak two Native American languages (Pawnee and Arikara), and study with a doctor who specializes in ancient healing techniques. DiCaprio calls it the hardest performance of his career.”
