CeruleanGamer Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 RIP "Leonardo DiCaprio Gets Snubbed by Oscar" jokes 1993-2016 Anyways, congrats to him and about fucking time... Inception, Titanic, The Wolf of Wall Street, and The Departed were great movies that should have won him 4 more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDice Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I really liked Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as "Leonardo DiCaprio in the cold". Remember when he grunted, ate a raw fish and was filmed in the cold? Brought tears to my eyes, what an actor. Flutterz and Rose 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenophilious Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Actually watched The Departed pretty recently, and I was a little surprised that nobody in it got an Oscar, considering how great most of the cast was. Fiddle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulless Watcher Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yes it is about time that Mr. DiCaprio was singled out to be the best actor by the collective of rich old white guys of the Academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 he really should be thankful to Iñarritu for this, but yeah he finally did it xD kudos for him I don't agree with those titles titanic is a piece of crap, inception was meh and The Wolf of Wall Street was a terrible movie (he did performance really good) now he fucking owned it with what's eating gilbert grape, the basketball diaries or this boy's life, pretty much all his early work is just outstanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how much of that is just half-joking, but that's pretty much my opinion on the matter. He played better in TWOWS and Inception, in part because there wasn't much to play except grunting, eating fish, and being filmed in the cold in this role.

DarkZedge Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Just some fun teasing, in all seriousness..congratulations to Leo, he's been deserving it for a good while now and finally luck caught up to him and his hard work paid off VirginSmasher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played better in TWOWS and Inception, in part because there wasn't much to play except grunting, eating fish, and being filmed in the cold in this role. Pretty much the entire post was sarcasm. First things first: I don't hate Leonardo DiCaprio. He's always doing a fine job and is really good at shouting and making angry faces. But ultimately, he falls into the same hole as Tom Cruise: Leo always portrays Leo on screen. Leo can not play other characters, he can only play Leo pretending to be another character, which is different from actors like Tom Hardy or Jake Gyllenhaal who actually become different people on screen. Should Leo have gotten an Oscar? The answer: Maybe? Ultimately, who cares? The oscars are just an award show, despite people treating it like an election. Slapping an "WON xx OSCARS!" sticker onto a DVD doesn't make the movie a better movie, it just makes more cash because people are stupid. Should Leo have gotten an Oscar for this role in particular? - Probably not, because eating a raw fish and being filmed in the cold doesn't really require you be a good actor, it just requires you to eat a raw fish and be filmed in the cold. Other than that, Leo didn't do a lot in The Revenant and the scenes in which he had actual dialogue, he was utterly trumped by Tom Hardy, who once again proved how great of an actor he is. But honestly, who cares? The oscars are something everyone looks forward to for 3 months and forgets about in 3 minutes, until the next Oscars come along.

Dergonu Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Finally... ... I like how he talks about climate change in his speech ... Good job Leo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverLi Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Aaaaaand he ruined everything with his speech. I watched The Revenant and while I think he did a good job my opinion is that he got it because of the previous failures. Still a great actor and I like him. But the rivals wasn't that good this year in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginSmasher Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Leo finally got that Oscar that has been avoiding him for so long. My opinion is he should've won it earlier. The Revenant is far from his best performance he was nominated for. I'm still proud of him for winning finally. mitchhamilton and DarkZedge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmore Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It's good the Academy finally owned up to how worthless the Oscars are by finally awarding Tiger Beat DiCaprio with a gold-plated statue. I look forward to Channing Tatum's award for Gambit in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol... be honest, not the films he has been nominated(I agree most of them crap) but some of his early work, you cannot say that he didnt deserve it in those, tell me if his acting in what's eating gilbert grape didn't deserve an oscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmore Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 OK - "His acting in What's Eating Gilbert Grape didn't deserve an Oscar." It's pretty easy. I've never considered him a good actor. Billy Zane acted circles around him in Titanic. And where's Billy Zane now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
