No Oscar nerves for Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio

The next scene only further illustrates the greatness and intimacy in the cinematography of the film. Until that man gets shot in the head, out of the blue.

Other familiar faces are returning, as well, like last year’s best actor victor, Eddie Redmayne (“The Danish Girl”), Jennifer Lawrence (a record fourth nomination for the 25 year-old for “Joy”) and mainstay composer John Williams, who notched, staggeringly, his 50th nomination.

Meanwhile the biggest movie in film history, Stars Wars: The Force Awakens managed to nab 5 nominations but failed to receive one for Best Picture. Until now, it seems.

And despite winning a Golden Globe and being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance, Leonardo confessed he won’t ever work in those conditions again. Whether it’s going in and out of frozen rivers, or sleeping in animal carcasses, or what I ate on set.

The ending also seems to be rather abrupt and cold.

“This movie was a monumental undertaking for everyone involved, and the fact that so many different departments got recognised, and my good pal Tom got recognised, is an fantastic feeling, because we really put everything we had into this movie”.

“I am incredibly humbled by this honor”, Stallone, first nominated for the role in 1977 for “Rocky”, wrote in an email.

In the same year as Inception, he also starred in another Scorsese masterwork, Shutter Island, where he plays a crazed cop who’s the subject of a prison experiment of mind-boggling proportions.

He went on to earn four more nominations for his leading roles in “The Aviator” (2005), “Blood Diamond” (2007), “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2014) and now “The Revenant”.

Quite a few of those select roles made Leonardo DiCaprio one of the most envied actors in Hollywood, but that is the just the tip of the iceberg. We don’t want to harm anyone in real life. Quite like what happens to his Billy Costigan in Scorsese’s The Departed.

Unlike previous years, no other potential nominee for 2016 seems quite as serious a contender for “Best Actor” as Leonardo DiCaprio.

It’s a hell of a turn from DiCaprio, whose performance from this point is nearly entirely wordless, expressing his pain – both internal and external – through only wheezes and grunts.

The film, directed by Alejandro Inarritu, is up for 12 Oscars, it was announced Thursday. And that is why, perhaps…
