As aides went in search of the newly minted best actor Oscar winner's mother, DiCaprio tucked into a slice of chicken pizza.
'I'm so hungry', he was heard to say.
Then
he begged to be allowed to eat in peace as his table was swarmed by
well-wishers and photographers. Soon security officers ringed his table
to keep onlookers at bay. 'Leo is asking for a little bit of privacy',
one of the security detail said.
Meanwhile,
Oscar gold has previously eluded the celebrated star, who has won
plenty of other honours over his two decade long career.
Leo earned his first Oscar nomination in 1994 for What's Eating Gilbert Grape when he was just 20 years old.
Platform: 'Climate change is real,' said DiCaprio as he used his acceptance speech to deliver a lecture on the environment

'What
a great opportunity for our generation to really liberate ourselves
from all prejudice and this tribal thinking and to make sure for once
and forever that the color of our skin becomes as irrelevant as the
length of our hair,' said Inarritu.
She has swept the awards season with her tour de force in Room.
And
on Sunday night Brie Larson took home Best Actress in a Leading Role,
beating out Jennifer Lawrence and Cate Blanchett for the top honour.

Class of 2016: Mark Rylance, Brie, Leo, and Alicia Vikander posed backstage after winning in the acting categories
In an underdog win for a movie about an underdog profession, the newspaper drama Spotlight took Best Picture.
Tom
McCarthy's film about the Boston Globe's investigative reporting on
sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests won over the favored frontier
epic The Revenant.
The
well-crafted procedural, led by a strong ensemble cast, had lagged in
the lead-up to the Oscars, losing ground to the flashier filmmaking of
Inarritu's film.
But
Spotlight - an ode to the hard-nose, methodical work of a journalism
increasingly seldom practiced - took the night's top honor despite
winning only one other Oscar for McCarthy and Josh Singer's screenplay.
Such a sparsely-awarded Best Picture winner hasn't happened since 1952's
The Greatest Show On Earth.
+98
Kicking off: The night opened with a raucous monologue by host Chris Rock
+98
Taking a hit: Sylvester Stallone was
left heartbroken as he lost out in the Best Supporting Actor category to
Mark Rylance, who took gold for his performance in Bridge Of Spies
![Rylance, 56, thanked his director Steven Spielberg before adding: 'If you ever asked if acting with Tom Hanks helps [your career] the answer is "yes it does!"'](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_urPTvhreT7zo06769xDzMGgdhh0ryO6CXXNVXSVtJLuVf-oYmRu5OcvNaXui11wHp7hUDLOlU2kY4vQ1Yx-0pAvMCtMTzqAGhygWs1zWSA3KxhqGBDZXrtFa6C5hzy8y4_SceZGmK-c1xqVhJdKB9VSsmP2tdX_c0D5phe0aN6a2cpiYaTYg=s0-d)
+98
Rylance, 56, thanked his director
Steven Spielberg before adding: 'If you ever asked if acting with Tom
Hanks helps [your career] the answer is 'yes it does!''
+98
It's not about how hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit! Both Sly and Christian Bale lost out to Rylance
+98
Hand-off: Patricia Arquette pesented the Best Supporting Actor award to the Bridge Of Spies actor
'We
would not be here today without the heroic efforts of our reporters,'
said producer Blye Pagon Faust when the film took Best Picture. 'Not
only do they effect global change, but they absolutely show us the
necessity for investigative journalism.'
Best
Original Screenplay also went to the newsroom drama Spotlight, penned
by McCarthy and Josh Singer. Backstage, a cord from a light suddenly
fell behind the winners, prompting McCarthy - whose film shows the
discovery of extensive sex abuse by Catholic priests - to exclaim in
mock paranoia: 'That is the power of the Catholic Church, ladies and
gentlemen!'
Adam
McKay and Charles Randolph took best adapted screenplay for their
self-described 'trauma-dy' about the mortgage meltdown of 2008. McKay
thanked Paramount Pictures for taking a risk on a movie about 'financial
esoterica.'
+98
Newcomer! Alicia Vikander wins Best Supporting Actress for The Danish Girl at the 88th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night

The 27-year-old took the stage and
breathlessly delivered a heartfelt speech: 'Thank you so much to the
Academy for this recognition. And Eddie - where are you? - there you
are! Thank you for being the best acting partner. You raised my game!'
McKay,
best known for broader comedies like Anchorman and Step Brothers, gave
an election-year warning to power of 'big money' in the presidential
campaign and government.
'Big money is taking over our government,' said McKay backstage.
Meanwhile,
it was supposed to be his big night, But Sylvester Stallone was left
heartbroken as he lost out in the Best Supporting Actor category to Mark
Rylance, who took gold for his performance in Bridge Of Spies.
Rylance,
56, thanked his director Steven Spielberg before adding: 'If you ever
asked if acting with Tom Hanks helps [your career] the answer is 'yes it
does!''
+98
+98
Now she's a
name: Plays Gerda Wegener in The Danish Girl where the plays the wife
of the first person to undergo gender confirmation surgery

She then added: 'And my mum and dad -
thank you for giving me the belief that anything can happen. Even though
I would never have believed this!'
+98

Shock win: Tom McCarthy's film Spotlight took home Best Picture
Rylance
was a first time nominee and won for his portrayal of Russian spy
Rudolf Abel, who becomes part of a high-stakes prisoner exchange during
the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union.
It
was the first time Stallone had been in Oscar contention since 1977
when Rocky, which he starred in, wrote and produced, was nominated for
10 statuettes and won three, including Best Picture and Best Director
for John G. Avildsen.
Sly missed out on the Best Actor and Screenplay honours, which appears to be making this round of honours doubly sweet.
+98
Opening strong: Rock delivered an epic monologue at the beginning the of the 88th Academy Awards on Sunday night
+98
'The big question is why are we
protesting this year's Oscars?' Rock observed. 'It is the 88th Academy
Awards.... At least 71 of them didn't have black actors nominated in the
past.'
+98
Rock then jokingly Introduced Stacey Dash as the new Minority Outreach Director for the Oscars
+98
+98
Chrissy Teigen and The Weeknd found the moment particularly hard to stomach with their obvious disdain
In
the film Creed, Sylvester plays an ageing Rocky, who comes out of
retirement to train promising young boxer Adonis Johnson, played by
Michael B. Jordan, who is the son of his former rival, Apollo Creed.
Earlier
in the evening, newcomer Alicia Vikander won Best Supporting Actress
for The Danish Girl at the 88th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night.
She
beat out the likes of Kate Winslet to take the gong for her role in the
historical true story about a transgender woman (played by Eddie
Redmayne) and his supportive wife (Vikander).

+98

+98

The
27-year-old took the stage and breathlessly delivered a heartfelt
speech: 'Thank you so much to the Academy for this recognition. And
Eddie - where are you? - there you are! Thank you for being the best
acting partner. You raised my game!'
She
then added: 'And my mum and dad - thank you for giving me the belief
that anything can happen. Even though I would never have believed
this!'
The
Swedish born actress beat out previous winner Kate Winslet (Steve
Jobs), Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight), Rooney Mara (Carol),
and Rachel McAdams (Spotlight).
Meanwhile,
they have refused to acknowledge their love publicly and have avoided
public displays of affection but the Oscars changed all that - sort of.
Vikander
and Michael Fassbender finally let their relationship walls down, for a
second, on Sunday night. The actress and her 36-year-old beau could not
hide their excitement, or their feelings for each other. As the star's
name was read out for her role in The Danish Girl, she gave her mother a
big hug before Michael stood up to give her a loving kiss - finally
publicly acknowledging their almost a year-long romance.

+98
Special treatment: The host singled out DiCaprio as someone who always gets good roles each year
Despite
their kiss and the fact the camera panned to her beau in anticipation,
Alicia did not mention Michael's name, whether by design or whether by
music-inducing nerves.
Pixar's Inside Out is the winner of the best animated feature film Academy Award.
The
film tells the story of a young girl's emotions as her family relocates
from Minnesota to San Francisco. Director Pete Docter has said the
film, which mixes science with his experience, has also resonated with
the parents of special needs children.
The
film features an all-star vocal cast including Amy Poehler, Bill Hader,
Lewis Black and Mindy Kaling. The win is the studio's eighth in the
category.
