1. Leonardo DiCaprio - Titanic
I know, surprising right? The culprit here, of course, is James Cameron. And this, THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is the true definition of "accidental." DiCaprio gave a masterful performance (even though at the time I hated him worse than I hate Lautner now), yet he was snubbed for the Oscar. And ever since then DiCaprio's been chasing that little golden statue like Stan Marsh chasing the dragon playing
Heroin Hero. I hope one day Leo gets it, because while
Titanic under NO circumstances ruined his career, it has put this albatross of a goal around his neck. He works incredibly hard on each film he does, and there are countless other roles that he should have won an Oscar for (
Blood Diamond and
Shutter Island are two that come to mind), and for the love of God he's really the only actor I
want to see win, just so he can have his day in the sun. But you know what, old sport? He makes a damn fine Jay Gatsby, a
damn fine Jay Gatsby, old sport.
