No he didn’t. Not only did McConaughey give the better performance in Dallas Buyers Club, but he made a 20 minute cameo in Wolf of Wall Street and outacted Leo in his own film to top it off.

I don’t even understand why everybody’s crying about Leo not winning an Oscar. John Hurt has never won an Oscar. Gary Oldman has only been nominated ONCE. Johnny Depp didn’t get nominated at all until Pirates. Peter O’Toole got nominated a bunch of times, but only got the Honorary Award. Leo is a comparatively young…
It’s part of his contract with the Devil. Leonardo gets good, highly praised meaty roles that every other actor would give their right arm for but in return he will never get the Golden Statue. Should have read the fine print.
I always remember when Tom Cruise was nominated for playing a paraplegic (honestly, he should have won), and he then lost to Daniel Day-Lewis for playing a guy who could only move his foot. It’s like a scene out of “For Your Consideration”
That seems to be the Academies M.O.: snub an actor for a brilliant performance, wait a few years, try to rectify the mistake by giving them an Oscar for an ok performance that isn’t the best out of the current nominees, thereby snubbing someone else more deserving, wait a few years, rectify THAT mistake by giving them…
HALF OF THIS IS SARCASTIC!?! It’s written by Bill A. Bear.
He deserved one for Wolf Of Wall Street. He was playing a loathsome person but it was a phenomenal performance.
You can’t give it two thumbs up or down, because you don’t have thumbs.
No, he deserved an Oscar for both “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” and “The Aviator”. If (*coughs*when*coughs*) he wins for the Revenant, I’ll treat this like I treated Denzel Washington’s win for “Training Day”... I’ll pretend he won for one of his better performances (in Denzel’s case, “Malcolm X”).
I don’t get DiCaprio. At all. While he’s by no means a terrible actor, the blowjobs he receives from (mostly male) critics just mystify me. And then there’s the endless profiles insisting this beady-eyed, bloated manchild is hot? PS, Titanic sucked.
That “source” is presenting facts that aren’t in evidence. That article keeps getting posted but most of what is claimed “wasn’t presented” in the documentary was supplied in the form of sound bites from the now-disgraced prosecutor of the case, Ken Kratz.
All those details you’re haunted by? Those came from the now-disgraced prosecutor, Ken Kratz. He stood in front of the press with Sheriff Pagel the day after Avery’s arrest and told a lurid story about Avery and Dassey raping, torturing, and killing Halbach.
Based on what I’ve read (so take it for what that’s worth): A sweaty sock or something similar would transfer the DNA. They also had the car for months until the DNA was found (after the kid’s confession).
You should do a little more research before you start repeating things you’ve read on the internet.
a couple points, from what i’ve read and tried to verify based on case files online, etc.
Any article that considers pornography evidence of a crime is INCREDIBLY suspect to me. I think what’s particularly challenging about this case is that while a lot of that information is suspicious, only the DNA and the bullet are strong evidence that an actual crime had been committed. (And the DNA testing on the…
I agree with you. I’m not certain that Steven Avery is innocent, but I am certain that the story that the prosecution and sheriff’s department presented did not happen. They believed Steven Avery was guilty and corroborated their hypothesis with false evidence to ensure a conviction. A new trial must be conducted to…
No, the theory is that they came across her truck and remains (a highway patrol officer called in her tags as if he’d found the vehicle, and then thanked the dispatcher and hung up, but then in court said he was just curious and hadn’t actually found the vehicle–which makes no sense–and then the vehicle appeared on…
