The worst luck with Leonardo DiCaprio is that every time he is nominated, there is always an incredibly spectacular performance by someone else. That pure, raw emotion of happiness. This is the only time in his history of nominations where the competition was very close.
Again a one-man movie, Ray was tailor-made for Foxx. Neither Morgan Freeman nor anybody else would have done justice to the role. His mannerisms, voice, style everything changed to reflect everything that made Ray Charles. DiCaprio too played a famous businessman and aviator Howard Hughes but all that could be seen was Leonardo DiCaprio on screen.
The pattern here is rather clear. DiCaprio has delivered some really fine movies but not necessarily the best in that particular year. Luck has never been on his side. It is often said that as a conspiracy against him, the Academy never nominated him for his best movies. The time he asked Rose not to jump off the mast? The time he is in the frozen water, not letting go?
If you come to think of it, any cute-face actor with average acting skills could fit right in the mould. In such movies, the thrill takes precedence over all else and the fact that everyone has watched it a billion times only makes us love it and everything related to it. The Departed was another masterpiece from the Scorsese-DiCaprio duo in when the latter was also nominated for Blood Diamond. Where it failed him, it was with the big starcast that divided attention to quite some degree. Mark Whalberg, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, it had all the big guns and they also had more complex and nuanced characters than DiCaprio, who plays a simple, honest undercover cop..
Next in line are Shutter Island and Inception, both released in This was the year when his fan base grew exponentially. He was the new master of the internet for his exceptional work in both the movies. Shutter Island was directed by the old master Martin Scorsese while Inception was the brain child of Christopher Nolan, one of the most consistently outperforming directors in recent years. Three fantastic actors in three career-defining roles, and in all three cases, he probably didn't deserve to beat them.
Like we said, unlucky. Like, have you actually seen him? Has he aged at all in the last ten years? We think back to when every teenage girl had a poster of him on their bedroom wall, and we men hated him - HATED HIM, like the way we hated Boyzone and Take That back in the day - for how much attention he got.
But then we grew up, and so did he, and suddenly DiCaprio was working with Scorsese and it was totally okay to like him as an actor. Colin Firth did Bridget Jones's Diary. Hell, even Sean Penn did an episode of Friends. Every actor needs to let off some steam, to show that they're not just powering through their career with one heavy movie after another, but that's something that DiCaprio is missing.
Even his attempts into an action flick with Inception still ended up with him playing character desperately trying to overcome the guilt and depression surrounding the death of his wife. McConaughey — the comeback kid. Daniel Day-Lewis — the method man. And so on. However, this can sometimes lead to their performances stealing the limelight from Leo. Need we go on? Remember, Paul Newman another actor famed for his looks as much as his natural talent was nominated six times before he won in Chin up Leo, your time will come.
