Considered to be a precursor to the Oscars, Globes win has upped Leonardo DiCaprio's chances of winning his first Academy award for the true-story inspired role of frontiersman Hugh Glass in The Revenant, directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. 

The 41-year-old actor said it was an incredible honour to win as he acknowledged fellow nominees, his director and co-star Tom Hardy. 

"This movie was about trust and no one was more deserving of our trust than our director. The depths to which he and the entire crew went to make this film were incredible," DiCaprio said while referring to the harsh weather conditions in which the movie was shot. 

He ended his speech by expressing support for indigenous rights. "I want to thank all of the indigenous people in the world. It is time we protect your land and heard your voice."
