To me, he has won every single Oscar he's been nominated for. He is so smart, so intellectual when he talks. His acting is one of my favorites, hugely admirable. I know an Academy Award isn't the only thing you judge an actor by, but his work so far has earned him more than one oscars to me, even if he hasn't been given them.
I honestly think Leo is such a great man, not only as an actor, but as a person. He did an exceptional job playing Jay Gatsby. He deserves an Oscar more than most Oscar winners.
dandelion burdock Leo is an amazing ass actor but as far as the great gatsby no it wasn't that good I even love Toby but he did pretty bad to all around the movie just wasn't good it felt rushed and disconnected
It seems to me that a lot of tv interviewers do that, they just list off their questions and don't engage in any real conversation with their guests. Edit: Missing words.
LET HIM SPEAK. I get stressed out when Leonardo gets cut off like that constantly. It's like watching a race. Let him finish his sentences. I don't like this interviewer. Leo does get to talk for a while, but each time, he's being interrupted. The interviewer seems hungry for attention
this man plays His characters so convincible, amazing! He speaks in away that draws you in. when you watch him you forget that its a movie.He can easily change himself into his character. A pure example of flawless, brilliant acting is definitely leonardo
His acting was superb. He captured Jay Gatsby's whole essence. The teary eyed, hopeful yet doubtful Jay Gatsby in that clip was just genius. He really rocked that scene. My favorite scene is the scene in the plaza hotel, which would be Chapter 7. It was brilliant. When Leo/Jay blew up on Joel/Tom it was one fo the most natural and honest moments i've ever scene in a movie. It was as if Leonardo Dicaprio was angry not the character he was playing. He's one of the greatest actors of our time.
My parents took me with them to see Titanic when I was 3 weeks old. When I was 5 I saw it again and it was my favorite movie. After that he was my favorite actor, and being a kindergartner I had no way of differentiating good actors from bad actors. It's a huge coincidence that he was technically the first actor I ever saw (even though I have no memory of it) and he became my favorite actor. His roles are iconic, and even if the film is bad, he has a way of brightening it. He's absolutely astounding.
+Young Justice He probably was required to mention the 3D element from the film so he used Leo's comment about the novel making you feel like you're in the room with the characters as a segway into it. He did it rather awkwardly tho like he forgot to be conversational as well as actually listen to what he's saying. He should've done something like "and people get to feel like they're in the room with the characters with the 3D in the film too. Do you adjust your acting knowing it's going to be in 3D?" Just saying "Especially in 3D!!!!!" while Leo's talking about the *novel* is awkward and shows he wasn't really paying attention and just wanted to get the points he was told to get through done and the interview over with.
One of the things about this author is that he can transport into a world to where you not only whisked into it, but you feel, move, taste, smell the elements around you in that environment. Very few authors have that ability and that's what makes him a genius for literary works..
I'm so mad that he hasn't won an Oscar. The Great Gatsby is amazing and he played Jay perfectly. He's undoubtedly one of the best actors out there. Major respect to him.
he's so right about the scene where theyre fighting. I felt kinda trapped in the room myself when I was watching it and its even kinda hard to watch cause its so intense.
If I were interviewing Leo I would let him speak all he wants and make sure I don't ask stupid questions I mean it's like letting letting God speak in front of you DONT INTERRUPT HIM!
Leo is one of the best actors ever!!! Especially in this movie, his performance was absolutely flawless and spot-on. Simply amazing. Leo is also the best period-actor alive. He definitely deserves an Oscar for his performance in "The Great Gatsby". But in my opinion, he should have also received one for his equally astonishing performances in "What's eating Gilbert Grape?", "The Beach", "The Departed", "Blood Diamond" "Revolutionary Road" and "J. Edgar". He's very intelligent and philantropic.
is no one going to mention the very beginning where the guy introduces leo but says leonardo super weirdly? And you see leo's eyes kinda like "how tf did he just say my name"
Woo, he's beautiful, talks brilliantly, very clever, ecologist, generous, smiling, cute, very good actor, humble and i forgive some probably ! .. What can we want more?
Omg one the best actors for this generation he so amazin he plays every character w/ such heart and soul I don't like the facial hair but im still memorized by him
Cant believe this movie dint get enough attention at the Oscars.. Sometimes Oscars can be annoying.. Cant believe he's not won one yet.. Pfft.. Seriously...
The worst is when you compare Silver Linings Playbook to The Great Gatsby... Jennifer Lawrence is a good actress but I was very surprised she won an Oscar whereas Leo never managed to get one...
UnknowMakeupfan None of the other actresses nominated did as well as Lawrence. There was probably quite a few actresses you did better though that weren't. Also, I'm glad Leo wasn't nominated for Gatsby. It just wasn't that good of a movie. Lurhmann went for all glamour with no substance. He lost a lot of what made the story great because he wanted to make it a visual masterpiece.
