15 Leonardo dicaprio’s Best Character

Leonardo DiCaprio has come a long way since his stint as a teen heartthrob onGrowing Pains alongside fellow Tiger Beat love interest Kirk Cameron to starr in the now-second highest grossing film of all time. He’s yet to win an Oscar but that could change with J. Edgar opening this week. Today we look back at his most memorable roles throughout his prolific career.

15. Richard, The Beach
Academy Award Nomination: No
Golden Globe Nomination: No
Though the film was widely panned by critics and fans, DiCaprio stretched himself in an edgier role. At this point in his career, the only award he was considered for was a Razzie.

Reasons Why Leonardo Dicaprio has Never Won an Oscar

Leonardo DiCaprio suffered an all-too predictable Oscar heartbreak again last night, missing out on a Best Actor prize to Matthew McConaughey.

Despite rave reviews for his turn in Martin Scorsese’s ‘Wolf of Wall Street’, he’s been snubbed once again. What does the poor millionaire actor have to do to win an Academy award? Why has he not got one already? We investigated…

1. He’s been unlucky
First, lets look at his nominations, and who he lost out to.

Leo has been nominated twice before in the Best Actor category for ‘The Aviator’ in 2005 and ‘Blood Diamond’ in 2007.

In those years he lost out to Jamie Foxx in ‘Ray’ and Forest Whitaker in ‘The Last King of Scotland’. Two towering and career-defining performances, much like Tommy Lee Jones’ in ’The Fugitive’ which denied him earlier in his career when he was nominated for ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’.

Ditto 2014. Let’s be clear, Leo is fantastic as Jordan Belfort in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’. It’s a typically intense performance, but it’s also one that proves he’s got what it takes to do physical comedy too.

However, Matthew McConaughey (who pipped him to the post) is riding the crest of a wave of critical acclaim, in the the biggest year of his acting career. This makes Leo plain unlucky.

2. He’s too consistent
Since his breakthrough in 1993 with the double-whammy of ‘This Boy’s Life’ and ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’, Leo has consistently made good career moves. His back catalogue is solid, working up from child star, to teen heartthrob, to Hollywood A-lister, taking in a ‘Titanic’ sized mega-hit in along the way.

He’s never really made any major mis-steps along the way (I even rate ’The Beach’) so “where’s the drama in that?” asks The Academy who love a “story” to go with their Oscar-winners. McConaughey – the comeback kid. Daniel Day-Lewis – the method man. And so on.

In fact, Leo doesn’t have a “career-defining” performance yet. Just many, many very good ones.

Kanye West jumps on a restaurant table in london

Kanye West does what Kanye West wants, and if that includes jumping on top of restaurant furniture, then so be it.

While in London for the Brit Awards on Wednesday, the 37-year-old rapper surprised customers at fast food chain restaurant Nando’s, and decided to hop onto a tabletop to give the people what they wanted (his presence). And sure enough, it made the crowd go wild.

Customers quickly swarmed over to the celeb and began chanting “Yeezus!” and posed for selfies with the star.

Nando’s also mentioned the exciting appearance on their Twitter, posting a photo of ‘Ye on their table and jokingly writing, “So, it turns out Kanye is much taller in real life… #NandosO2.”
