Joel M Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 On 13/12/2015, 5:09:45, filmlover said: His presumed "desperation" comes from the fact he works only with the most accomplished filmmakers more than anything else (directors he's worked with just over the past decade: Scorsese, Zwick, Scott, Mendes, Nolan, Eastwood, Tarantino, Luhrmann, Inarritu). Like, would it kill ya to make some dumb mainstream comedy or appear in a summer blockbuster even in a supporting role, Leo? No actor working today is as picky as he is. Yeah but because he hasn't turn down Scorsese to do a stoner comedy with Seth Rogen doesn't mean he does stuffy award baits. Inception was a summer blockbuster after all, Tarantino and Luhrman are mainstream favoites more than oscar darlings. Even most of his Scorsese collaborations were straight-up genre movies (Departed, Shutter Island) or completely out of the ordinary (WOWS), they became "awards movies" because Scorsese's status is so huge, he can get any movie into the oscar race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 You know-assuming DiCaprio wins, I think I will be disappointed if he does not say in his speech "okay internet, stop doing memes of me!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Blitz Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Isn't Leo's role this year a bit similar to Redford's back in 2013 ? Redford was a lock for a nomination at least back then , maybe the same happens for Leo this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It looks like the nominees will be Di Caprio - Revenant Redmayne - danish girl Damon - Martian Fassbender - Steve Jobs Cranston - Trumbo But I would love to see B. Jordan for Creed and Hanks for Bridge of Spies instead of Cranston and Redmayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think Steve Carell takes the fifth spot. It's between him and Cranston, maybe Depp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm tempted to replace either Redmayne or Fassbender with Smith and/or Carrel right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark 33Legend of the Sith Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Would love to see Jordan get in there. So deserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a strong contender also. Definitely over Cranston and Redmayne. Fassbender is vulnerable. Only two names with secure noms are Damon and Di Caprio. And even Damon isn't locked. Lock Di Caprio Strong candidate Damon Good bets Fassbender Carrell Fighting for a spot Cranston Redmayne B Jordan Hanks (unlikely, but I can dream) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I could see Smith getting in also-even if he basically has lost most of his popularity now (well he is apparently a huge jerk also now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box office isn't big enough, reception to his movie not strong enough, and there are other viable, more visible contenders in the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Steve Carell, The Big Short Bryan Cranston, Trumbo Matt Damon, The Martian Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs I think DiCaprio and Fassbender are near-locks at this point. Damon doesn't have a SAG nom, but I think his film is popular enough with most Academy voters that he'll in. Steve Carell is far from a lock, but he's getting raves for his work and The Big Short is starting to look like a big hit with voters. Between Cranston and Redmayne I think Cranston will pull through simply because Trumbo has more buzz and Cranston playing a major historical Hollywood figure appeals to Academy voters moreso than Redmayne's character. Depp is unlikely at this point, and while Jordan is a dark horse considering his NSFC win but I wouldn't bet on him getting in. Smith, Caine and Hanks are pretty much done.

Impact Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Most likely final: Steve Carrell for The Big Short Matt Damon for The Martian Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs Eddie Redmayne for The Danish Girl Alt: Bryan Cranston for Trumbo Though I'm close to getting rid of Redmayne, I could see Depp getting in also. Smith as I said earlier has some problems with the film not doing as well (well likely due to how Smith has went from the loved hip actor to a jerk nobody likes as well as controversy from the NFL but those are other stories). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Leo deserves an oscars, but not for the revenant.he wasn't even the stand out performance of that film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If Fassbender lost when it seems the HFPA had a hardon for Steve Jobs, it just makes things easier for Leo, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
