Leonardo DiCaprio has taken a leap forward in his quest for his first Oscar, with a Golden Globes win for his intense performance as a 19th century fur trapper in The Revenant.

All eyes in Hollywood are now on the Oscar nominations, to be announced on Thursday, to see if the Titanic star scores his fifth nomination for an acting role as widely expected.

The 41-year-old DiCaprio won for best actor in a drama at the star-studded Globes ceremony on Sunday that also saw The Revenant win for best director and best motion picture drama.
