This year might actually be Leonardo DiCaprio's year. Nominated for his sixth Oscar, DiCaprio is considered the serious contender to take home the gold in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category.
But after five heartbreaking times he's lost, it seems like the Internet's lost with him. People expressed their grief in different ways, such as creating a Leonardo's Oscar Twitter account, as well as an 8-bit game called, "Leo's Red Carpet Rampage."
If Leo loses on Sunday (February 28), I'm pretty sure the Internet will self-destruct, as evidenced by these memes made over the years.
