DiCaprio is incredible here, as are Tom Hardy as a villainous fur trapper who wants to leave Glass behind, Domhnall Gleeson as the commander forced to make frightful decisions, and Will Poulter as the compassionate man who makes a big mistake.

Twenty-five years and almost 30 film acting roles after he first starred in the 1991 film, Critters 3, Leonardo DiCaprio has proven his versatility as an actor time and time again. We were going out into the middle of the wilderness in sub-zero temperatures.
While he has won the Best Actor award at the Golden Globes three times, the Oscar has apparently slipped through his fingers every single time that he has been nominated. In a fight for survival, Glass treks through snow-covered forests, gets swept away in a waterfall, sleeps inside the carcass of a disemboweled horse and hungrily eats raw bison liver before making it back to his camp.
London just became a much better place, as last night Leo DiCaprio graced our shores for the premiere of The Revenant on the day he became an Oscar nominee. “I think his performance has to be seen by hopefully millions of people, (and) I’m sure they will be emotionally involved and happy about seeing Leo in this caliber”, Alejandro G Inarritu, director of “The Revenant”, told Reuters.
Hardy was more modest about his nomination.
“I know he would never bury me alone and leave me out in the cold like that”, he said. If Lubezki wins an Academy Award at the ceremony on February 28, it will be his third in as many years. As expected, Cate Blanchett received a sixth Oscar nomination for “Carol, while Jennifer Lawrence earned a fourth career nomination”.
