Most Best Actor Awards go to someone for a movie they did and that's pretty much it. But last night's Academy Award ceremony was different, because Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar -and the NeatoShop already has a t-shirt about it. More than one, actually.

The internet had a lot of fun lamenting DiCaprio having six Academy Award nominations but no Oscars -until last night, when he won the Best Actor trophy for The Revenant. But the end of an era also means a few more internet nuggets, like this flip book from The Flippist. It shows how he finally got that statuette.
The original flip book is up for auction on eBay, with proceeds going to the the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. And then there’s this animation of the years-long saga.

So, do you think that will be the end of the jokes? I doubt it.
