The 86th Academy Awards Official Thread

[obarth]

@obarth is putting in a dominant performance in this thread shutting down Leo stans

I made a bet with my boy about who would win. He picked Leo and I picked Matty da gawd. nikka has to buy the first round of drinks at the bar now

My friends swear I'm a hater when it comes to Leo, but that's not it. Leo is in great movies. The best directors in the business put him in their movies. He's almost always surrounded by an ensemble cast. When people get so used to seeing the same actor in so many amazing movies it's only normal that they attach the quality of the movies to the biggest star. But step back a second and ask yourselves when Leo has ever blown you away by his performance alone (I haven't seen Wolf yet). He's always solid to very good but I've never been floored by dude. It's not a popular opinion and most cats will disagree (I might fukk around and get negged) but it's how I've felt for some time now. Good actor and I'll always check for any movie he's in, but he doesn't move me like that

The hate in here for Leo Da Gawd is puzzling.

The man has brought solid performance after solid performance going on about 12 years now.

Let the hate flow in your blood brehs.

Now I can enjoy all these cac movies in peace, they won shyt

 

[MartyMcFly]

Someone needs to get on their True Detective shyt and find out why McQueen and Ridley beefing. And at anybody shytting on my nikka Tom Cruise. I love Leo. But Cruise is a better actor then him. nikkas forget Cruise got hits for days. Jerry Maguire my nikkas!

It's going to be a story tomorrow as to why they're beefing. This shyt must've just popped up

 

[Jax]

Leonardo DiCaprio is da GAWD and yall c00ns better recognize!

 

[pickles]

Definately. He's a better actor then cruise for sure. I mean Brad pitt and Ben affleck don't have a best actor, neither does clooney, which is funny to me.

Yeah but they have Oscars though. Damn Angelina and Brad have matching Oscars now.:wowwow2:

 

[the next guy]

We'll only have a problem if Mark Wahlberg wins an oscar before Leo.

Lol it's true. Brad finally did it and props to him. If he didn't come back to LA I think American Hustle would have won.

 

[Blankthawtz]

Leo takin Susan Lucci spot.......

 

[the next guy]

Matt McConaughey better be smart and continue to put in work. Don't get lazy.

 

[jay211]

McConaughey is good. He learned his lesson. His next film is with Nolan, you know they bout to crush the buildings.

But step back a second and ask yourselves when Leo has ever blown you away by his performance alone (I haven't seen Wolf yet).

Yes.

Django Unchained
Shutter Island
Catch Me If You Can
This Boy's Life

I think he gives the strongest performances in those films. He's great in others, but is often overshadowed by GREAT, often all-time performances (Day-Lewis, Blanchett, Winslet, Honsou)

 

[MartyMcFly]

That's what you do, capitalize on momentum. Jamie was the WORST at that..He won an oscar and then did Stealth

If you watch Catch Me If You Can, Inception, or Blood Diamond and don't see the greatness in Leo's acting then you're either a hater or unfamiliar with great acting.

I got everything except "Her" winning for screenplay....thought the Academy would sneak something to Russell & American Hustle

They got the big ones right

i got them all right too. I thought Her was damn near a lock for original screenplay.

This was the firs time I can say "yeah, they got it right this year."

I got every category right from 9:30pm eastern time onward. (thats when I got home)

Leo doesnt have any performances. I was stanning Chitwetel the hardest and wanted him to win until I saw Dallas Buyers Club in December. I saw his performance, and it was clear Matty Mc was here and was going to win the Academy Award for Best Actor. Dude was amazing and put in that spell-binding, "there is no chance anyone else can win" performance. Leo has never had that. He is a great actor, but he never dominates. Even in Wolf of Wall Street, you could argue Jonah Hill put in a slightly better performance.
