We currently live in an era where if you even suggest in the slightest that Leonardo DiCaprio isn't The Greatest Thing To Ever Happen To Us Ever®, then you're obviously an idiot, a moron who doesn't understand the geniusof Leo's work; doesn't understand the transient beauty of that gif from The Great Gatsby where he lifts the champagne glass and gives off that little smirk that should be registered as a lethal weapon to women everywhere. That he hasn't won an Oscar yet is a perceived tragedy, an embarrassment on behalf of The Academy, who clearly should've given the 41-year-old DiCaprio the award he has deserved for what feels like an age. Sarcasm aside, the reasons for DiCaprio's "slight" are multiple, and it remains that, great as he can be, he probably hasn't won for a reason. Whether that's on the actor himself or The Academy is up for debate, but what people really need to understand is that it doesn't in any way lessen his status as a performer.
