Looking at IMDB, he has "The Great Gatsby" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" coming out this year.

When will this poor guy win?

when he learns to act....

You're delusional or ridiculously insecure.

Titanic has been out for a while, dude, you can get over it. Your girlfriend's not running away with him.

Dude is one of the best mainstream/big budget actors out there right now.

When your have your pick of supermodels and huge pay days, I don't think he cares all that much as long as he stays relevant. He knows though that it'll happen sooner or later, even if it's a mercy award at the age of 60.

Gotta remember that all successful actors eventually get one. The Oscars is an industry circle jerk trade show and there is a lot of politics to share the love with the actors that pump fan $$$ into the industry.

Lot's of great actors have never gotten one. Even directors. George Lucas doesn't have one. Pretty sure Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt don't either. And my final statement is... who gives a shit?

You're right. Here's a few who I know for sure haven't...

Johnny Depp. John Travolta. Liam Neeson, Sam Jackson, Will Smith, Harrison Ford.

Popular people. I'd say all iconic actors, too. Doesn't always add up to getting a golden naked trophy thing.

Agreed

Leo has been and will be one of the best actors of our time.

he is actually one of the best actors out there now and probably should get one at some point.

Any of the hate we had after titanic we should have lost in his subsequent roles. He consistently does a bang up job on everything.

I think Leo's a very good actor. But I dont' think he's great. I do hope he wins an oscar one day.

What should he win an oscar for? I agree he's a good actor but he's competing against better actors.

Look at the best actors in recent years and ask yourself if he's better than any of them.

Daniel Day-Lewis - He's not even in the same league.
Sean Penn - close. Maybe not.
Denzel Washington - not even in the same league
Russell Crowe - close. Maybe.
Kevin Spacey - not even in the same league
Jack Nicholson - not even in the same league
Tom Hanks - not even in the same league
Al Pacino - not even in the same league
Jeremy Irons - not even in the same league
Anthony Hopkins - not even in the same league
Nicolas Cage - ok, Leo missed his chance. Where the fuck was Leo in 1995?

Here's the thing though. I personally think he's getting better and better with each movie. He's also still young. Give him a few more years of these great movies and I think he'll find a role that will win him something.

IMO he was a better choice vs Forest Whitaker in 2006
