Watch | Highlights of the glamorous BAFTA Awards 2016
The British awards, known as BAFTAs, are considered a portent of success at Hollywood's Feb. 28 Academy Awards. The Revenant has earned DiCaprio his sixth Oscar nomination — and, many believe, his best shot at finally winning. DiCaprio said it was out of his hands, but expressed pride in what he called “not just a film, but an epic journey we all went on.”
The Revenant beat several hotly tipped awards contenders, includingDiCaprio's Cold War thriller Bridge of Spies and Todd Haynes' lesbian romance Carol. Each had nine BAFTA nominations, but Bridge of Spies won only for Rylance's performance, while Carol was shut out.
George Miller's dystopian thrill ride Mad Max: Fury Road took four prizes: editing, production design, costume design, and hair and makeup.
