It was an emotional moment. Mostly because we all probably felt he deserved it, partly because we may have felt something terrible might have happened if he lost—like his fans taking to the streets and going all “Revenant” on the Academy members. But it happened. People were happy. They clapped. Even celebrated.
Some, however, took their enthusiasm for Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar win to another level ... or to another platform ... Well, to Twitter anyway. Here’s a selection of the best reactions—funny, witty, and tear-jerking.
