Adele tweets 'Good luck, Leo!' with 'Titanic' clock spoof
It seems as if the world is holding its breath, waiting for Leonardo DiCaprio to take home Sunday night the best-acting Oscar that so many think he deserves, including Adele.
And even one of his rivals.
"Good luck, Leo! Everyone loves you because you're the best," Adele tweeted early Sunday, under a spoof picture of herself on the Titanic staircase under the clock.
Then she added a coy come on: "Meet me at the clock anytime, bruv.X," a reference to a line from the movie that helped make DiCaprio a movie star.
The Oscar pundits say this is Leo's year, that at last he will get his first Oscar (after being nominated five times before with no trophy) for his role as the gritty, survive-at-all-costs trapper in The Revenant, which is nominated for a total of 12 Academy Awards.
Even one of DiCaprio's rivals for the best-actor statuette, last year's winner of the same, Eddie Redmayne, says he thinks Leo deserves it, too, according to US Weekly and the Daily Mail.
Redmayne turned up Friday night at the Film is GREAT bash, which celebrated British Oscar nominees at the West Hollywood hotspot, Fig & Olive.
Eddie Redmanye has a new state of mind for Oscars
"In my mind it is pretty much certainly Leo's year and he really deserves it. I am going along to enjoy the night," he said on the red carpet, accompanied by his pregnant wife Hannah Bagshawe.
Redmayne is nominated again this year for his role as a transgender woman, 20th-century Danish artist Einar Wegener, in The Danish Girl.
