DiCaprio has a fake, that's why he never won the Oscar
It's a running gag that has lasted for ten years in Hollywood ... Leonardo DiCaprio has five Oscar nominations (six today thanks to The Revenant) for zero wins. Some speak of a curse, others of bad luck or even harassment towards the poor actor who always left empty-handed. Since 2005, each of his nominations has come up with the same fateful question that begins to blow our minds: will he win the Oscar? Yes. Finally. This should be a good year. Nothing and no one should stand in his way. But in fact, why has he never received an Oscar, him the good student of Hollywood? Five perfectly scientific explanations.
'Cause you can't give the Oscar to a sinking actor
In 1998, Titanic received 14 Oscar nominations. James Cameron's film is featured in almost every category except one, Best Actor. What an affront! Leonardo DiCaprio decides to respond in the same way, by snobbery. He did not attend the ceremony, while all the cast were present. To win an Oscar, an actor's image is as important as his performance. In 1998, DiCaprio is a young premier to whom everything smiles a little too easily. Better not to experience early success to hold the famous statuette in your hands. John Wayne, Al Pacino, and Jack Nicholson - who had to wait 15 or 20 years to hold the Oscar - can testify. The very conservative Academy also favors “prestigious” roles: a historical figure, a metamorphosis or a role that reflects the values of America. In Titanic, the actor is not even able to stand on a cabinet door in the middle of the Atlantic to ensure his survival! We have known more credible as a role.
Because Matthew McConaughey
Leonardo DiCaprio's failures at the Oscars are also a big part of bad luck. With each nomination, the actor found himself facing stronger than him. In 2005 his performance in Aviator rubs shoulders with that very embodied by Jamie Foxx in the biopic Ray. Two years later, Blood Diamond is no match for the Last King of Scotland and the powerful interpretation of Forest Whitaker. In 2014, Leonardo DiCaprio again played his card with The Wolf of Wall Street. But the Academy gives in to the irresistible Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club), who has turned his career upside down, abandoning tasteless comedies for poignant dramas. This year, Leonardo DiCaprio's competitor is named Michael Fassbender, but his portrayal of Steve Jobs, as brilliant as it is, shouldn't overshadow King Leo.
Because the stars have decided so
Even the stars have ganged up on DiCaprio. Astrologer Rosine Bramly, interviewed by Vanity Fair, said: “Between October 2012 and September 2015, Saturn in Scorpio would have created huge blockages in terms of rewards. [...] Jupiter and Neptune fight in its sky and do not facilitate the task for him to gain the recognition of the medium. Neptune generates an atmosphere of shenanigans around him and he does not play this kind of game. He does not woo people who could award him the Oscar. The astrologer wants to be reassuring for 2016. Phew, the stars are finally favorable to him. “2016 is released from Saturn to Scorpio, but Neptune is still playing a murky game, which does not guarantee the Oscar on a board. But his chances of winning are better than they've ever been in six years. So it should play out positively in the years to come, and if it's not 2016, it might be 2017 or 2018. ”This is called a reliable prediction.
Because the Oscars are for the bad actors
To win, you have to take part in the lowest comedies. The expression, the gestures, the emotion transmitted by the gaze or the diction are not enough. No, to win, you have to have given in to the sirens of metamorphosis with all the frills that this implies. Losing 20 kilos, dressing up, playing a sick person, sleeping in an animal carcass, playing your role to the point of suffering from hypothermia during filming ... All these tests are recommended to access the Holy Grail. Being a good actor is not enough, you have to look like a good actor. But that, obviously, Leo understood. The Revenant is the proof ...
But above all, because he has a knock
Didn't you notice? Yet it is as big as a house. Take a good look at our video: every time Leonardo DiCaprio plays anger, his little finger wiggles. His forehead creases, his eyebrows furrow, his voice rises at the same time as his index finger which ends up pointing frantically into the void accusingly. In all his films, at each scene in which he loses his temper, the actor systematically raises his finger and waves it in front of his interlocutor. What if this mania had ended up annoying the Academy?
