Even after being praised for his performance in "The Wolf of Wall Street", actor Leonardo DiCaprio failed to win an Oscar this year and his loss has become a topic of discussion on microblogging website Twitter.

Although the tweets, which followed after the best actor in a leading role was announced, expressed the fans' disappointment, they were funny and sarcastic too.

DiCaprio lost the 86th Academy Award trophy to Matthew McConaughey, who received it for his performance in the movie "Dallas Buyers Club" for playing an AIDS patient.
