“Revenant” star Leonardo DiCaprio won best drama actor. Held at the renowned Beverly Hilton Hotel, the famed ceremony was broadcast live at 5:00 p.m. PST on NBC. While his performance was impressive, Damon would likely not have had a realistic shot at winning in the drama-category equivalent this year against DiCaprio and other heavyweights such as Eddie Redmayne (“The Danish Girl“) and Michael Fassbender (“Steve Jobs”).
