Brad literally swept the board as he scooped a series of awards: Academy Award, Golden Globe, SAG Award, Bafta and a Critics’ Choice Award for his performance in the movie. That’s a lot of acceptance speeches, but Brad nailed every single one – throwing in-jokes about Tinder and Brexit and including shoutouts/Titanic references to his best friend and co-star Leo.

At the Oscars, Brad shared that he writes all his own speeches for the award. "Historically, I’ve always been really tentative about speeches. They make me nervous," he said. "So this round I figured if we’re gonna do this, [I’m going to] put some real work into it, try to get comfortable, and this is a result of that. I definitely write [them]."
