DiCaprio has ‘no nerves’ over Oscar nomination

Hardy was more modest about his nomination.

‘All the work from me has been done, I’ve done everything I could possibly do, so it’s all up to you to decide whether it’s worthy of being seen or talked about or awarded’. “But this is not to take away from the greatness (of the films nominated)”.

For the second year in a row, no minorities were nominated in the acting categories, which prompted the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite – which first cropped up last year to criticize the lack of diversity – to trend on Twitter. She certainly seems to be the darling of Hollywood at the moment.

As an actor, Leonardo has been nominated for an Oscar five times: Best Supporting Actor for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?

“Something in [director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s] eyes, spoke to me about this story”.

“The Revenant” will compete with gritty action adventure “Mad Max: Fury Road” and space film “The Martian”. But, this is her first Oscar nomination, and I couldn’t be happier for her.

The actor was filming BBC TV series Taboo on Thursday (14Jan16) when he heard he had received a Best Supporting Actor nod for his role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in survival epic The Revenant.

Although “The Martian” received a best picture nomination, its director, Ridley Scott, who had been considered by many a favorite to win the best director award, failed to even get a nomination.

There seems little doubt who will win Best Actress. Sly won a Golden Globe for his performance earlier this month. But then again, all hopes are pinned on Leo that finally 2016 is going to be the year when he takes the Oscar home. Surely there isn’t much one can do with the things apart from using them as particularly impractical paper weights. It’s now the highest grossing film of all-time in the U.S. Every year, the Oscars feel pressure to get lots of viewers for their telecast, so it stands to reason that much more people would tune in if this box-office smash were nominated. “The academy really needs to look at itself”. The other five were: Tom McCarthy’s investigative journalistic procedural “Spotlight”, Steven Spielberg’s Cold War thriller “Bridge of Spies“, Adam McKay’s Michael Lewis adaptation “The Big Short”, the mother-son captive drama “Room” and the ’50s Irish immigrant tale “Brooklyn“. Obviously, it’s one of those cases where the academy proves yet again its collective taste ain’t exactly what you’d call refined, and nearly as obviously evidence that homophobia is still a problem with a good bloc of the voters.
