It was the first time that Leo won an Academy Award, but his 6th nomination. Fans have been cheering on him to win this year, for his performance in the film The Revenant.
Leo and Kate have been fast friends since they starred in Titanic in 1997. They attended the Golden Globes together the following year, but when asked, "Is there something we oughta know?" on the red carpet, Leo answered, "No, absolutely not, we're good buddes."

Since then, the two have stayed friends, and starred in the same movie again in 2008 – Revolutionary Road. It was because of that movie that they attended other red carpet events together, like the premiere of Revolutionary Road in 2008 and the Golden Globes in 2009.
It was at the 2009 Golden Globes that Kate won Best Actress for a Motion Picture Drama and thanked Leo, saying, "Leo, I'm so happy I can stand here and tell you how much I love you, and how much I've loved you for 13 years." Leo replied by blowing kisses towards the stage.

There were even reports in 2012 that Leo walked Kate down the aisle when she married Ned Rocknroll.
Recently, Kate congratulated Leo for winning Best Actor, also for The Revenant, at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards in January.
