The Oscars are Sunday, February 28, and once again Leonardo DiCaprio fans are pulling for the 41-year-old actor to win his first Academy Award.

"The Revenant" marks the fifth time DiCaprio has been nominated for a best actor Oscar since his acclaimed role in 1993's "What's Eating Gilbert Grape."

If he wins — and he should since he's the frontrunner right now — expect a huge outcry from Leo fans everywhere. (If he doesn't you can expect one, too.)

While DiCaprio may not have any Oscar gold, he has a rabid fanbase online that has been waiting to see him in all his Academy Award-winning glory.

As the years have stretched on, DiCaprio has appeared to constantly one-up his previous performances to gain Oscar status (the man ate raw bison for his last role and bled on the set of "Django Unchained" in character). Fans took notice and made DiCaprio's quest into a series of hilariously heartbreaking memes.
