VIDEO : Critics Say 2016 Might Finally Be the Year Leonardo DiCaprio Wins an Oscar

Leonardo DiCaprio is getting rave reviews for his raw, intense performance in The Revenant. DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, a fur trader who is left for dead by his fellow frontiersman after he's savagely mauled by a bear. The film, set in the 1820s, also features Will Poulter and Tom Hardy, but most critics are championing DiCaprio's extremely physical performance. As Robbie Collin writes for the U.K.'s Telegraph, "If this raw revenue western doesn't win Leonardo DiCaprio an Oscar, nothing will."
As Collin notes, "part of the fun of watching the film is knowing someone went through hell to make it." He lauds the "physical and psychological extremes" DiCaprio went to for the film, quipping, "The question buzzing around your head after seeing The Revenant isn't 'will Leonardo DiCaprio win an Oscar for this?", but 'in the event that he doesn't, what the hell is it going to take?'"
