The Oscar win for Leonardo DiCaprio as Best Actor for his role in The Revenant, which came after multiple Oscar nominations, managed to steal the show pretty convincingly. Everybody on and off the internet is still talking about the highly anticipated win for the 41-year-old actor. One of the actresses who was heard gushing about DiCaprio was This is Where I Leave You star, Tina Fey, who apparently doesn't blame the star for sleeping around one bit.  

According to Vanity Fair, Howard Stern asked her if DiCaprio could be called a hypocrite for preaching environmental awareness while he slept around with women in his spare time. Fey responded saying that it is not really DiCaprio's fault. She did not consider DiCaprio to be a misogynist for sleeping with women who themselves wanted it to happen. Fey revealed that she personally thinks DiCaprio is cute and that she doesn't think that it's his fault that women want to sleep with him.

The actress also revealed while talking with Stern that she was happy to fly back to New York because halfway through the Oscars, she had arrived at the conclusion that this was some "real Hollywood bulls**t."

Fey jokingly added, "Everyone's telling me what to do. People are yelling at me about rape and corporate greed but really it's climate change."

The Saturday Night Live actress was also impressed with DiCaprio's post-win speech and said that it really was the issue of climate change that needed attention. She added that the way the actor addressed the topic was "cogent."

As for DiCaprio, since his big win, he has not signed any new films after the Oscar-winning The Revenant. Fey, on the other hand, will be seen next in movie based on the memoir of The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan by Kim Barker. The movie is titled Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and it will be directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa.

In conversation with The Gazette, Fey praised her new character saying, "What was so appealing about this world that Kim Barker experienced was not only that it was truly absurd, but that it really was true. In '30 Rock,' things had to be heightened. In Kim's book, these crazy things were actually happening all around her."
