Tonight Alejandro G Iñárritu’s brutal, beautiful survival drama receives its UK premiere in London's Leicester Square, before opening in cinemas around the country tomorrow and you can watch all the action from the red carpet with our exclusive livestream at the top of the article.  The Revenant has crushed its competition this awards season, today picking up 12 Oscar nominations – among them nods for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Best Supporting Actor (Tom Hardy) –to add to the three Golden Globes the film has already won.  Based on a true story, the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as 19th-century fur trapper and frontiersman Hugh Glass. Mauled by a bear, forced to witness the murder of his son, then abandoned and left for dead by an unscrupulous companion (Tom Hardy), Glass must fight his way back from the brink of death, and undertake a perilous journey across the freezing North American wilderness.  In his review of The Revenant, Telegraph film critic Robbie Collin described The Revanant as "an extraordinary, blood-summoning, sinew-stiffening ride".  Stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson, Will Poulter and Paul Anderson will be walking the red carpet and participating in interviews, alongside director Alejandro G Iñárritu.  Will the film finally gain Leo an Academy Award?  When it comes to the Academy Awards, DiCaprio is famed for his history of near misses. This year he's been nominated yet again for Best Actor, and many critics suspect that his powerful performance in The Revenant (the vegan actor immersed himself completely in the role, even going so far as to eat raw bison's liver) could finally net the actor one of the coveted statuettes.  "There’s no question DiCaprio’s hell-for-leather approach is partly responsible for making The Revenant such a rollicking, knuckle-whitening ride," wrote the Telegraph's Robbie Collin in a piece titled Leonardo DiCaprio: even wild bears can't stop him winning an Oscar now.
