Leonardo Di Caprio tipped for Oscar glory with 12 nominations for 'The Revanent'

Leonardo DiCaprio sent girls swooning in Titanic, swaggered as The Wolf of Wall Street, and creeped audiences out as reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes.

But it took a seven-month, sub-zero shoot, and a role in which he barely speaks to give him his best shot at finally winning an Oscar.

DiCaprio, 41, has received his fifth Oscar nod, this time for his lead role in The Revenant. The pioneer-era revenge drama led all contenders with 12 nominations.
