My favorite Leo role was his in The Departed. But I agree, he's an amazing actor who's being looked over. Between him and Johnny Depp, I think the
Academy should have an award for "You Deserve this but we're Fucktards and haven't given you one, sorry."
Has Leonardo DiCaprio ever won an Oscar?

I've loved him in basically everything I've seen him in. He should have been nominated for RR, I think. And he was so great in Blood Diamond. And
Gilbert Grape! Everything. Very talented. Hopefully one day he'll finally be recognized.

What did he do to piss them off?

I wonder how many actors put in a vote for him.

No, but Jennifer Hudson has. The Oscars are weird.

I don't understand how Leo and Eastwood didn't get nominated.. but Brad Pitt did? I thought he was flat and phoned it in in BB. The story was
interesting but the performance wasn't.

He is an amazing actor. I finally saw all of 'Catch Me if You Can' this weekend. He should definitely have won for that role. It was perfect.

I agree that it has something to do with his heart throb image. He's not taken seriously even though it's been years since Titanic, and that sucks.
He's had amazing performances.

Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Leo should all have Oscars. Of course, their best work is way, way behind them so I wouldn't hold out hope.

Leo's been one of my favorite actors since I was 13.
 He's consistently so good. Catch Me If You Can, Blood Diamond and The Departed are my top
ones from him. I'm excited to see Revolutionary Road, just have to make it to the theater. Last thing I saw was Benjamin Button which I didn't enjoy.

I love Brad but I don't think he's an Oscar-worthy actor. He was really great in Seven and 12 Monkeys though.
Leo has a raft of great performances. Give him some time and the Academy will let go of Titanic. At least he hasn't resorted to practically begging for a statue like Kate Winslet. |

He is an amazing actor... everytime I watch him I forget I'm watching Leonardo DiCaprio and just get lost in the character. I didn't really like
Revoltionary Road, but I thought that for what he was given to work with, he was perfect in it.

As well as they work together...Leo will never win an Oscar for any movie he is in with Kate. Who the hell is paying attention to Leo when you have Kate. Poor
kid can't keep up with her.
