It's me Academy. It's me Academy. It was me ALL ALONG!

Then the Academy promptly revokes the Oscar and accuses Leo of murder.

The problem RR was you never cared for the characters. 

 

"omg we are white middle class people in a nice suburbia house in a nice neighbourhood, our lives suck wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

 

Seriously 50's suburbia was hell however we seen countless movies made on that topic with a much more engaging story and better characters.

Leo should have won for WOWS, and he should have been nominated in Django Unchained and Revolutionary Road. He was excellent in both. I actually thought Revolutionary Road was quite a good film myself, but the performances really carried it, for me.

Yeah, I agree, DiCaprio deserved to win for Wall Street. 

 

I would have given it to Ejiofor or the non-nominated Redford.

[filmlover]

Remember when Leo famously didn't attend the Oscars the Titanic year reportedly because he was furious that he wasn't nominated while Winslet was? Good times.

You bought it, you all bought it. Even Scorsese bought it.

Well, some old men in the academy still can't get over the fact, that they cried like little babies, when Jack got part of the sea.

Yea, I don't buy this at all.  You've never been married, have you Lordmandeep?  Trust me, if you ever get married, go watch the film ten years into your marriage, then you  will identify with the characters.

Leo could have deservingly won for like 6 movies at this point. The WOWS loss is just unforgivable though.

There was so much potential in a Cloverfield sequel. I really love this movie and the mysterious surrounding it. JJ Abrams truly is a visionary.

they robbed him then furiously for titanic , we didnt know it yet but it was the beginning of a trend , he was right to snob them in all his impetuous youth glory !

any girl or woman who says they were immune to leo influenza back during titanic winter are lying through their teeth it was a blatant case of mass hysteria , good times lol

 

i'm so thrilled for him the movie is looking to do a great weekend , i've seen it and its a visceral breathtaking experience .

It was a pretty BS snub though.

I thought Leo was better in Blood Diamond than in The Departed. If someone was to be nominated for Lead Actor for The Departed I'd have gone with Damon.

True but it was just a poor effort overall compared to other better reflections of 50's life like Turman Show, Pleasentville and others.

 

Much more interesting films that left an impact.

 

Of course I can see that if you experience what character feel in a film, you automatically feel much more attached to a film.

Dat multiplier though

I've seen Titanic probably 50 times and every time it just floors me how well it's written, acted and directed.  The scene where Rose is explaining to Jack who everyone is on the ship is the epitome of brilliance.  I also love seeing Victor Newman show up...."Jack are of the Boston Dawsons?"

Those are all very different thematically from each other. (And TRUMAN SHOW isn't even set in the 50s, nor is it a reflection of that time.)

Why do I feel they just took his reaction to the movie and made it look like it was to the commercial. 

 

On a season of Survivor (who the hell remembers which one), the reward for winning a challenge was that the entire team got to watch a private screening of "Jack and Jill", the losing team must have felt so happy that week.

I was upset when Leo didn't get nominated for his marvelous introduction to the film world in that masterpiece Critters 3. For shame, Academy.
