Is There A Role That Dicaprio definitely deserved an Oscar for?

[Dominic Brehetto]

Departed or django.

i would say wolf of wall street cause i feel that movie is classic and it really hinges on his energy and his performance. i mean he's basically the whole fukkin movie and it doesn't miss a fukkin beat. piff from start to finish.

I don't think homie is overrated at all, love him as an actor and think he's great. I just think he's been nominated at bad times and that says nothing about his skill or lack thereof, sometimes it's just not your year, doesn't mean you're not great

Exactly my point on page 1 when I broke down all the movies he was in, and all the performances he lost to.

Dude only really got snubbed once, and that was with whats eating gilbert grape. Every other time, the more deserving actor won the award. A few times it was a toss up...but a "toss up": doesnt mean he was "snubbed."

I actually think we look at the academy awards with the wrong lenses. We put too much emphasis on the actual winners.

A person that was nominated for 15 academy awards and only one 1 is probably more talented to me than a person that was nominated for 3 academy awards and won all 3.

A nomination is more objective, while the win seems to be more subjective

Yup. Although I think tommy was awesome in the fugitive and deserved it but that's not the point. A snub is if you don't get nominated. Homie just turned 40 and he's already been nominated three times and he's got more to come. And you could've given the Oscar to him or Matthew this year and both would've been deserving

i think they were different. i don't really know how to measure which one was better.

but i feel like leo's in wolf will be the one more remembered in time. so many classic scenes and classic moments.

 

[Ziggiy]

Calvin Candie in Django

Wolf Of Wall Street


He didn't even get a nomination for Best Supporting for Django. That shyt was fukking CRIMINAL

I agree with this

We'll remember the whole Mcconaissance as a whole moreso than his performance in DBC 20 years from now

He was phenomenal but i think it'll be talked about more.. kinda like pulp fiction and shawshank get talked about way more than forrest gump these days

Yeah but as I've said before blame the studio on that one. Who gets nominated is often a function of the studios

Oh boy here we go. And breh you gotta use the right smile for this situation. That MJ one is not appropriate at all. You know that's for racial situations only. I believe you were going for this sentiment

I know actors aren't supposed to toot their own horns (and given the subject matter of the film he might've felt uncomfortable doing so) but Leo should've lobbied the studio HARD to back him after that performance. I mean purely from an acting standpoint he embodied that character perfectly

i love using Mj for everything..but yea that's definitely the one

 

[MartyMcFly]

Can we please save the forest gump argument though because I know that's about to pop off any second

Well they wanted to put either him or christoph in the slot but not both because they knew they'd cancel each other out. And they didn't want to put them up for leading performance because DDL had it in the bag. grest performance though
