And most importantly the Best Picture spot for the movie itself on Hollywood's most coveted film awards, the Oscar's.

On the other hand, the other three films which fought hand in hand with The Revenant for the Best Picture also took a series of awards.The Best Original Screenplay was taken by Spotlight. Mad Max: Fury Road was awarded for editing, make-up and hair, costume and production design which also counts as the next major winner for the night. And lastly, the Adapted Screenplay Award for The Big Short.

The cast of The Revenant includes, Leonardo DiCaprio as Hugh Glass, Tom Hardy as John Fitzgerald, Domhnall Gleeson as Captain Andrew Henry, Will Poulter as Bridger, Forrest Goodluck as Hawk, Paul Anderson as Anderson, Kristoffer Joner as Murphy, Joshua Burge as Stubby Bill, Duane Howard as Elk Dog, Melaw Nakehk'o as Powaqa and a whole lot more.
