How it feels to be Leonardo DiCaprio at the #Oscars every year.
Eddie Redmayne, who won the Oscar for Best Actor last year, backed his rival Leonardo DiCaprio to take home this year's best actor prize.
Redmayne, who won in 2015 for his portrayal of Professor Stephen Hawking in The Theory Of Everything, is nominated for the second year in a row for his role as transgender artist Lili Elbe in The Danish Girl.
DiCaprio, who has never before won an Oscar despite numerous nominations, received a nod in the same category for his role as a fur trapper in The Revenant.
Arriving at the Film Is Great reception for British Oscar nominees and members of the film industry in West Hollywood, Redmayne said: "I think it's pretty much certainly Leo's year, and so well deserved."
