But the Academy Awards only have one Best Actor category with winners at the Globes going head to head. For all we know, “The Revenant” team might still be celebrating, after taking home a trio of top prizes with Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.
The film also included several Canadian indigenous actors, along with Tootoosis.

It is considered to be the most prestigious award after the Oscars and the Grammy awards.

Gervais added, “I want to say something nice about Mel before he comes out”.
Supporting Actor: Sylvester Stallone, “Creed”.
