Leonardo DiCaprio has opened up about whether he would like to become a father one day as he admitted he likes to keep some things private. The filmmaker’s entry in last year’s Oscar sweepstakes, Birdman, also took home the top prize while Inarritu himself captured the Best Director Oscar.
Best Picture Spotlight , an ensemble piece about a paper’s investigation into abuse by Roman Catholic priests, has had plenty of Oscar buzz along with Leo’s film The Revenant.
