Was this really an Oscar worthy role or was it just out of pity because of the who no Oscar meme?

Was this really an Oscar worthy role or was it just out of pity because of the who no Oscar meme?

do you think leo feels complete with this award or does it feel like a participation award to him?

if anything, which of his roles was most deserving?

Clearly it was a compensation win.

Ingrid Bergman got something similar, she made a horribe 5 min performance in some Agatha Christie flick and got an oscar for that.

She clearly should have gotten one for Casablanca, or Notorious or some other films but she got robbed back then, and compensated later.

He didn't deserve any of his nominations because he's a well-documented overactor.

I think Catch Me If You Can is his best role. I actually really enjoyed The Revenant, I think Leo deserved a nomination for the performance and the field he was up against was pretty weak that year. Who would you have given it to instead?

I don't think she really deserved one for Casablanca. The film was great but in this case that was down to direction not performances. Claud Rains put a lot of effort in though.

>Catch Me If You Can is his best role
Agreed, good film and good acting on Leo's part
>grunt grunt aaahhh ooohhh the movie the acting

I thought there were moments when Leo's acting was quite weak. It was in the quieter moments. Some of his attempts at normalcy made me chuckle.

But in the intense moments I have to say I was gripped by his performance as much as I have been gripped by any if his work.

So I'd sat this is indeed peak Leo and it isnt perfect because of his lack of range, but that we should remember that Oscars have been given out for weaker performances.

Leo should have won an Oscar for Shutter Island, not for the fucking Revenant, Revenant wasn't good at all, so great locations, a good premise, and the film was a bore fest, why Hollywood is sucking Inarritu's cock??

>gets an oscar for eating raw fish and wrestling with a cgi bear
Meanwhile, Gary Oldman puts his heart and soul into everything he does and doesn't even get a nod
Fuck the oscars.

This.
Y'know, if I floated down a freezing cold river and ate raw liver I would probably shiver and throw up too. Where's my oscar?

Tom Hardy acted fucking circles around him and didn't get jack shit.
It was the biggest fucking pity award since Black Panther

oldman won best actor in 2018 doofus

yellowpilled

If you're talking about Hardy's performance in The Revenant, I agree (he was nominated for Supporting Actor though). And I'm the user who said that I think Leo deserved the award that year

>Catch Me If You Can is Leo's best role
I disagree, Shutter Island is.

nah he has a point
it was the same shit with oldman
this whole "when he's gonna get an oscar" is such a fucking meme at the oscars. Glenn Close is probably the next big meme. This bitch got nominated 7 times, still no oscar. Fucking hilarious.

The bear was real though?
Why didn't the bear get nominated?

Oldman can't act. He just wears a lot of makeup and prostheses.

Weirdly enough, his best performance is WEGB. He could never pull that off now.

If you thought that shitty cgi bear was real you need to get your eyes checked

Definitely a pity prize. The revenant isn't great enough for a reward.

ooh forgot about this one. he really was great in that

Tom Hardy's accent and mannerisms were deep south hick circa 1992. So he based his character on a style that was totally off for that time period imo. He was too pick-up truck and deliverance.

Who would you have given the award to instead?

It was a "fine, let's just fucking give it to him so I stop getting fliers in my mail and calls on my phone. I'm sick of hearing about Leo every year" award.

It's like Al Pacino finally winning an Oscar for Scent of a Woman (great film btw) in 1993 when he's been acting the living fuck out of nearly every leading role he's in since Serpico.
The Academy is a joke.

He should’ve won for The Aviator or Shutter Island. I’d say WOWS, but between him, Bale, and McConaughey, it was a rough fuckin year.

I'm still confused as to why Tom Hardy sounded like a deep woods Alabama man circa the 1970s in colonial america though

scent of a woman is his best movie thought. Hoo-ah is more iconic than any godfather movie

How the fuck did he survive? The huge bloodloss aside, all those infections should have killed him.

Mediocre movie, but the bear attack was fucking brutal youtube.com/watch?v=GOlVRHsVzE4

I actually had a hard time understanding his accent. Most of my family has thick Newfie accents too.
But that's probably because I just don't spend too much time listening to southern USA accents

He died in the bear attack and the rest of the movie was purgatory

The Academy tries to make up for not giving Oscars previously. Pacino didn't get any Oscar for the godfather 2 so they gave it to him for scent of a woman. Scorsese didn't have a best directors Oscar so they gave it to him for the departed. Peter Jackson didn't get it until return of the king which was pretty much an Oscar for the trilogy as a whole

ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
