Leonardo DiCaprio won his Oscar for suffering in the cold. It wasn't really acting, per se. Don't get me wrong. I think he's an excellent actor, and he was overdue an Oscar. But he now joins his Titanic costar Kate Winslet for winning an Oscar for one of the weakest performance of his career.
Here's a list of performances in DiCaprio's career I would rate as more impressive, in chronological order: This Boy's Life, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Romeo + Juliet, Titanic, Gangs of New York, Catch Me If You Can, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, Inception, Django Unchained, The Great Gatsby, The Wolf of Wall Street. So congratulations, Leo! You win for what might be about your 14th best career performance!
Hmm, Kate Winslet's better than The Reader performances include: Heavenly Creatures, Sense and Sensibility, Hamlet, Titanic, Hideous Kinky, Holy Smoke, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Romance & Cigarettes, Little Children, Carnage, Contagion, Labor Day, Steve Jobs.
I really need to see Revolutionary Road some day.
