名人传记 【2016南京市浦口区一模】When Leonardo DiCaprio stepped onto the stage to accept the Academy Award for Best Actor on February 28, he received a rare standing ovation(鼓掌欢呼). After five acting nominations and 22 years of disappointed hopes since his first nomination(for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape in 1993), the 41-year-old actor finally won his first Oscar for his effort in the film The Revenant, which hit Chinese cinemas on March 18. DiCaprio’s career took off when he played the romantic lead in Titanic(1997). However, the film also gave him the name “pretty boy”. People pay more attention to his face than his acting. DiCaprio has been known as one of the pickiest actors in Hollywood. Instead of winning hearts in romantic films, he chose to work with more challenging productions. For the role of Hugh Glass, an 1820s fur trapper in The Revenant, DiCaprio wore 47 different prosthetics(特效假体), slept in dead animals, and ate a bison liver. For over half the film, he crawled(爬) on the ground. An article in Life Week wrote, “Compared with DiCaprio’s terrible experience in The Revenant, Robinson Crusoe’s seems as easy and comfortable as a vacation.” His effort was accepted by the Academy.
