Los Angeles: Leonardo DiCaprio's long-pending Academy win is not just special for him but it has emerged as a record-breaker by being the most-tweeted moment of an Oscars broadcast ever.

Leonardo won the best actor trophy for his role of a fur-trapper in The Revenant and the much-anticipated moment saw 440,000 tweets per minute flooding the microblogging site, reported Entertainment Weekly.

It shattered Oscars 2014 host Ellen DeGeneres' record of 255,000 tweets per minute when she tweeted a star-studded selfie from the venue. (Also Read: Oscars: Leonardo DiCaprio's Gold Rush Thrills Bollywood)
