DiCaprio picked up his first ever BAFTA award on Sunday, winning Best Actor for his role in the revenge drama "The Revenant".
Winslet scored the Best Supporting Actress honor for her role in "Steve Jobs", and she dedicated her award to women who have suffered criticism.
Backstage, DiCaprio described his love for cinema since teenage.
"I grew up in this industry. Ironically I felt very detached from it, even when I lived in east LA, in Hollywood, I always felt like it was this distant thing that I couldn't touch, so to have worked in this industry ever since I was 13 years old, having done twenty some-odd movies to be here now and have to be for a film like this that we worked so very hard on, really feels amazing and I feel it."
Starring as Joanna Hoffman, the colleague of the late Apple co-founder, Kate Winslet took the opportunity to encourage young women to fight for their parts.
"And so what I feel like saying in those moments is to any young woman who has ever been put down by a teacher or a friend or even a parent, just don't listen to any of it because that's what I did. I didn't listen and I kept on going and I overcame all of my fears and I got over a lot of insecurities and just keep doing it and keep believing in yourself."
It was Winslet's third BAFTA win, after winning awards for "Sense and Sensibility" in 1996 and "The Reader" in 2009.
