Leonardo DiCaprio, an actor who needs no introduction, is one of the most natural and effortless actors that this generation has seen till date. From appearing in TV commercials in his teens to becoming a mainstream and bankable star, Leonardo has indeed come a long way.
With a number breathtaking performances delivered on the merit of his wide range of acting skills, Leonardo has essayed a huge variety of myriad roles from different genres winning him critical acclaim and some of the highest recognitions to his name.
A 20-year-old Jack Dawson in Titanic, a mentally handicapped brother Arnie Grape in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Howard Hughes in The Aviator, Billy Costigan in The Departed, Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby, Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street, Danny Archer in Blood Diamond, Dominick Cobb in The Inception to name a few, are roles that made Leonardo walk straight into our hearts. But even with tremendous amount of hard work, numerous nominations, bagging several awards and several blockbuster movies to his nane, Leonardo Dicaprio remains what one could call an Oscar virgin, always falling one step short from winning the coveted Academy Award. In his acting career spanning over two decades, Leonardo, so far, has been nominated for Oscars six times, including the current year in the category of Best Actor for The Revenant and many feel it’s about time that Leo gets his due. The actor has already bagged the Golden Globe award and BAFTA award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Hugh Glass in The Revenant (2015). At the Oscars, Leonardo has been pitted against the likes of Bryan Cranston, Matt Damon, Michael Fassbender and last year’s winner Eddie Redmayne this year.
