Leo and His Oscar: A better story than Twilight

We’ve been crying about it years, really, if you go back to watch  Wolf of Wall Street or The Aviator, critically acclaimed for the roles played by Leonardo DiCaprio, we probably understand why is he an actor who's full of adroit. Leo been nominated for six Oscars and eight Golden Globes (and he won for The Aviator in 2005). He has a production company and a non-profit (The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation), but you know, above everything, when you go to see a Leonardo DiCaprio film, you know that you will definitely see a character being brought to life with complete devotion, free from vanity, well everyone's saying it, 2016 might be Leonardo DiCaprio’s year to finally get the coveted Best Actor Oscar. And we for one sincerely hope he does.

It’s mad to think that Leo, has been acting professionally since the age of five and still hasn't got an Oscar to commemorate it. Oscars have probably overlooked a number of his mind boggling performances, wherein he not only plays a character but also lives it. Here's a list of movies for which Leonardo DiCaprio should've definitely won an Oscar:

1. Inception:

If teaming up with Chris Nolan doesn't get you an Oscar... Like, seriously,  I don't know what will. Inception was mind-boggling and utterly brilliant, yet it did nothing for Leo's Oscar chances. The film itself won four Academy Awards but alas the Oscar was far off. A movie which was so brilliantly written and adroitly cinematographed that the only thing left in the movie was Caprio's charismatic character. To pull off such a complicated plot and serve it with utmost ease to the audience requires caliber and Caprio is definitely the best man for the job. But still the role of Cobb couldn't fetch him an Oscar.

2. The Wolf of the Wall Street:   

The deadly duo of Scorsese and Caprio was back again on screen with a biopic on none other than the wall street con man Jordan Belfort. Those of you who have seen Wolf of Wall Street will surely be rooting that this should have been Leo's Oscar ticket. The actor gives a enthralled performance as Jordan Belfort in this  rollercoaster of marijuana ,weed and what not. This movie not only portrayed how efficient Leo is in getting into the shoes of another man but also in living the character. But then Leo missed the Oscar as Matthew McCounnaughey grabbed one for Dallas Buyer's Club.

3. The Aviator:

When Leo was preparing to star as the obsessive-compulsive billionaire recluse Howard Hughes in The  Aviator, he delved into the world of OCD so much  that he developed the condition himself. Now come on! Leave it to Leo to bring the character alive. But still an Oscar was something that was miles away from his mantle.

 

4. The Departed:

"Are you a cop?" This dialogue probably gave all of us chills. Considered one of the best movies of the decade, this thriller portrayed one of the best and colloquial cast in the history of Hollywood. Ranging from the "Mr. Oscar", Jack Nicholson to Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and Leonardo DiCaprio. Despite an equally divided screen time with the ever charismatic Matt Damon, Leo stood tall in portraying the plight of an undercover cop working in a gang. If you feel the cast isn't enticing enough, let me tell that it was directed my the Great Martin Scorsese. Damon and Leo's performances in the film won them Oscar nods but the golden statue was not destined to be for them. 

5. Blood Diamond:

For those of us who had watched Blood Diamond, hear me when I say, No one could possibly carry the role as smooth as he did The South African accent was spot on! And the film also gave the world a look inside the diamond conflict. Trust me, if Leo didn't make you cry by the end, then you can never appreciate true cinema. Leo was nominated for Best Actor in 2006's Blood Diamond, but again was denied the win.

Honourable mentions:

 1.Shutter Island

2.Django Unchained

3.Gangs of New York

4. What's Eating Gilbert Grape

5. Catch me if you can

We might have missed out some movies, but its quite natural isn't it? So many memorable films that it only leaves conundrums whether which one to pick. This year might be Leo's year, if no one else we surely hope that this time Hugh Glass might help him out.

The Revenant again revives hope of Leo finally getting united to his coveted award. I for one,seriously hope that the number of awards he gets in the coming years increases more than the number of women he's been linked to. Just kidding.
