This vid of Leo getting his Oscar engraved last night is TOO sweet
This world breathed a collective sigh of relief last night when Leonardo DiCaprio finally won an Academy Award.
After five failed attempts, the actor went home with a Best Actor statuette for his role in the gory drama The Revenant.
Being an Oscar winner at the Oscars is a VERY different experience to being a failed nominee, as Leo learned.
First up, there's a hell of a lot of people in your ear telling you what to do:
Secondly, EVERYONE wants a photo with you:
And thirdly, you get some exclusive privileges at the Vanity Fair after-party, like having your statuette engraved right then and there – much to Leo's delight.
Vanity Fair posted this adorable video today of the actor chatting with the engraver as he watches his award being personalised with a plaque bearing his name.

"Do you do this every year? I wouldn't know," he jokes.
Watch for the moment where he starts nervously drumming his fingers on the counter…Too cute.
Of course, the fact that there are about 100 photographers snapping away no doubt added to Leo's nerves, and would explain why the engraver's hands were shaking like a leaf.
Just another day at work, really.
