As the Golden Globes 2014 winner of the best actor for a musical or comedy award, it looks like Leonardo DiCaprio is on track to win an Oscar!

Leonardo DiCaprio won the Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy award at the Golden Globes for his work on "The Wolf of Wall Street". Not only is this great news for him in general, but it also sets him up to win an Oscar.

According to Deirdre Kaye of SheKnows.com, "There is a historical precedent that suggests Golden Globes winners go on to become Oscar winners. Most importantly for Leonardo DiCaprio, 12 of the last 20 Golden Globes Best Actor winners have gone on to take home the Oscar. The predictions don't stop there, though. The Golden Globes have successfully predicted the Oscar Best Picture winners 11 times in the last 20 years. The Globes predicted Best Picture winners most accurately between 1993 and 2003, when they matched 10 out of 11 times. For the last two years, in fact, the movies that won Best Comedy (The Artist in 2012) and Best Drama (Argo in 2013) have gone on to win the Best Picture Oscar."

However, this isn't Leonardo DiCaprio's first Golden Globes win. Leonardo DiCaprio previously won last 2005 for his role in The Aviator. As a matter of fact, in the last 20 years, he has been nominated for 10 Golden Globes. His first nomination was from 1994 for the movie "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" Interestingly enough, his win for The Aviator was one of the few times the Academy got it wrong. While he was nominated for his role in the film, he didn't go on to win the Oscar. That year, Jamie Foxx won for his role in Ray.

Leonardo DiCaprio has never won an Oscar. He's been nominated on three occasions for his roles in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?", "The Aviator" and "Blood Diamond". Maybe this Globe win will help seal the deal, and we'll see Leonardo DiCaprio take home the Oscar come March.
