Thanks for the interview Wijn. You're right, Carey is Adorable!!! :)

And Yes, Good Idea!!... Focus on Gatsby. Clearly my "change of subject" was like Cherna-botanek.gif

I'm here! hahaha.

Stressing out about a few things to do with College and stuff, but I'm all good!

Serious time with Shine:

(Just for you, Princess)

The weather in England is awful! It's so darn cold, luckily I have nothing to do so I can just sit around with the heating full blast all day.

If Johnny Depp is single, I can pounce on him, then get Leo's number then party on down.

The Concordia is a total tragedy, but shouldn't be compared to the Titanic as it has been in the media :ninja:

This has been, serious time with Shine.

Awww thanks for the Carey interview wijn!!!! She is so sweet :wub:

Thanks Sick for the gifs. The one where leo and kate are laughing, does anyone know what was said that made them laugh so hard?

See alot of tweeters are upset about the nominations today. Alot of love for Leo, Gosling and Fassbender (the three really good actors, left out....)

Tweet from Catt Sadler (E! NEWS)

Gosling. Dicaprio. Both totally #gotsnubbed ... Tell us who you think deserved a Oscar nom but didn't snag one? We run it down on @Enews.

Tweets from comedians Albert Books and Patton Oswalt, who have been nominated quite a bit this award season tweeted alot of tweets about the snubbed. Here are a few!

"Oh s--t -- we're DEFINITELY going to run out of booze. Charlize & Tilda just pulled up in a stolen police car," tweeted Oswalt, before replying to Brooks with this gem: "Dude, GET DOWN HERE. Gosling is doing keg stands and Olsen & Dunst LITERALLY just emerged from a shower of rose petals."

"Oh. My. God. Just pulled up to Legoland. DiCaprio's rented the park for the day. Dibs on the Duplo Gardens! #andscene

Mama never told me we were twins how else could you have expressed my sentiments so well :wave: :wave: :wave:

My dream is to live long enough to see Leo win a fucking Oscar, go to the stage all gorgeous and wonderful, and tell everybody of the Academy "go fuck yourself"... but this is just a dream mine, I know he has class and would never do something like that.

Leo or Fassbender's snub being credited to their films lacking widespread critical acclaim, poor box office, or any other Oscar support scenario, and my theory

I have noticed this byline in many Oscar nod articles.

Sorry that doesn't hold up when you consider that BA nominee Demian Bichr's film never played in more than 216 theaters and made only $1,759,252 worldwide.

The lack of critical acclaim , very poor box office, and no other Oscar support for his film didn't stop Bichr's performance from being nominated did it ? ??

As to big group picture , maybe , before the year is over they will have it up on on their official studio site :)

Wijn

Thanks for Carey interview :)

Kat

The GG scene with Leo & Kate laughing is when Ricky reminded Kate that he told her on the Extras episode she starred in that if she wanted to win an Oscar she had to do a movie about the Holocaust; amazing how Ricky was right isn't it ?

Thanks Ox for the info. I love seeing Leo laugh that hard :wub:

Also agree that just because the film is not the best, doesn't mean the performance can't shine through. Take My Week with Marilyn or Iron Lady. Both movies got mediocre reviews, but both Michele and Meryl were nominated.

The only thing about the OScar noms that made me happy today was seeing Melissa Mcarthy nominated for Bridesmaids ;)

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:... it's because we think alike... great minds :whistle:. Also Barbie e Sick (ringtone, great idea), who share our sentiment.

Thanks wijn for the video with Carey... she's so lovely.

Thanks Sick for the gifs... the one with SpongeBob is really funny... and Leo and Kate: no comment :wub:.

Thanks Kat by the tweets. I've read great comments about Leo not get a nom... I laughed so hard. One guy said that the Academy is practicing bullying against Leo; other said that Leo is the Peter O'Toole of our generation, hahaha. I can only laugh at all this crap :laugh:.

All I need now are some pictures :p.

The only thing about the OScar noms that made me happy today was seeing Melissa Mcarthy nominated for Bridesmaids ;)

Me too, Kat. Melissa is really funny and "Bridesmaids" is awesome :laugh:.

OMG! I just found MY Identical sarcastic twin :clap::laugh:

Why Does the Academy Hate Leo?!

Well, the list is out. Thus beginning the exciting road to what is the biggest night for Hollywood and of course self-described "movie buffs." Despite gripes that this year was somewhat disappointing, I was happy to see nods to the throwbacks like Christopher Plummer, Kenneth Branagh and even Nick Nolte. I was even more thrilled to see comedic favorites like Jonah Hill, Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig score nominations. But much of my enthusiasm was lost when I realized who was missing from the list -- begging one very obvious question: WHY DOES THE ACADEMY HATE LEO?!

Seriously, what is it going to take for this man to get his Oscar?

So far, Mr. DiCaprio has only been nominated for an Oscar three times in his relatively long career. (He's 37. He first appeared on screen in 1990.) For many other actors this would seem generous or even remarkable. Not for Leo and especially not when you consider his resume.

Shutter Island, Catch Me If You Can, Gangs of New York, Revolutionary Road, Inception and now J. Edgar. These are all successful movies that scored some degree of critical acclaim and not a single nomination for any one of them? You have to at least wonder if there aren't other factors at play.

Angelina Jolie, Sean Penn, Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon and Meryl Streep all scored nominations with Clint Eastwood behind the lens. Yet, somehow, Leonardo DiCaprio in an Eastwood-directed biopic (we know the Academy loves to fall over themselves for biopics) couldn't make the cut.

No one can be sure exactly when or why the Academy decided they weren't #TeamLeo, but a strong case could be made for the time period between 1994 and 1997.

Leo scored his first nomination a Best Supporting Actor nod in 1994 for a little film called What's Eating Gilbert Grape. If I can drop the "PC" for second, I've gotta say his performance in this one definitely disproves Kirk Lazarus' theory that you can never go "full retard." It seems Leo did and it paid off. I'd like to argue that he should have won, but he lost to Tommy Lee Jones for The Fugitive. That was a stellar performance so it would be a difficult argument to make.

He followed up Gilbert Grape with a series of noteworthy performances in movies like The Basketball Diaries, Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet and Marvin's Room. The Academy barely noticed these films. I guess no one can really blame them either.

Then in 1997 he hopped aboard the RMS Titanic and by the time this thing was done making a splash everyone was showered in Oscar love... everyone except Leo. It scored 11 nominations in all. Two were given to his onscreen partner Kate Winslet and Gloria Stuart. Leo got the shaft. He knew it and all of Hollywood knew it. But what we still don't know is why? I'll go as far as to argue that his performance coupled with his Teen Beat looks helped steer that ship into cinema glory. That wasn't enough to get any Oscar love.

What would come after Titanic is a string of enjoyable performances peppered with a few forgettable roles (Don's Plum anyone?) and the fruitless wait for Leo's Oscar. This is even sadder when you consider he reunited with Titanic co-star Kate Winslet in 2008 for Revolutionary Road. Neither Kate nor Leo were nominated for this film, however Kate still won an Oscar that year for The Reader and it only reinforced just how far behind he is in accolades.

Despite the sad look back, there may be hope on the horizon. Leo has once again teamed up with Baz Luhrmann for The Great Gatsby, which will be out later this year. He's also taking an evil turn later this year in Quentin Tarantino's hotly anticipated Django Unchained. Word has it that Leo will be playing an evil slave owner.

Maybe that will bring the Academy around. Hollywood's golden pretty-boy playing one of the most despicable characters ever penned in a Tarantino film. Though, I should warn that the cast is pretty stacked with stars like Jaime Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz and Kurt Russell. If history has shown us anything it's that in a strong ensemble piece the academy will most certainly treat our boy like the red-headed step child who plays in kitty litter. They will shut him out, again.

Despite my assessment, I will try to remain optimistic about the road ahead. In the meantime I'll keep demanding answers to this award season's most important question: WHY DOES THE ACADEMY HATE LEO?!?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/margaret-men..._b_1228576.html

About the Article... I have asked the same question WHY DOES THE ACADEMY HATE LEO?!?

He is so talented and really deserves it, at least a nomination.

Unlike the reporter, I already lost hope. I mean... always is the same with him. I Always expect the following year and then nothing happens.

He always gives great and excellents performances... but those who are mediocre, take all the recognition. NOT FAIR!!! :(

I will just transcribe into english a text I sent to Barbie and that sums up how I feel right now.... ;)

Sorry if there are any errors...

I'll tell you one thing I've learned .. we just move the trees which bear us fruits, for those who dont give us anything...they are useless ... right? Leo is a tree that bears fruits, a rare thing to see, and I've seen that many people want to see him on the bottom or even that he disappears from this industry. That's more than clear to us ... Leo deals with great and powerful people, he lives undercover in environmental issues and has the power to change things not only in cinema but also in our world. He is a great environmentalist, a great actor and a man of great beauty ... and that bothers the others you know? Dont you see what they did with Michael Jackson? The guy just wanted to help and do charity and was labeled as a pedophile and crazy. The media is rotten friend ... they want to put in our head that Leo is still an immature and reckless and that he's getting old (as if anyone would ever grow old) ... and what is the problem of having wrinkles .... it must be 'cause these wrinkles are beautiful in him! The attitude of George Clooney at the Golden Globes came only to prove what we all already knew ... that Leo is persecuted and discriminated. The truth is that Leo is exceptional as an actor,maybe the better thing in HOLLYWOOD AND MAYBE THE BEST ACTOR IN THE WORLD. And that's it! I'm sick of these assholes and jealous men ... tired of this capitalist industry and tired of politics in these awards in this place called Hollywood, who once deserved respect,but unfortunately nowadays no longer deserves more!

^^I think for leo, all his performances are all aclaimed, and praised, but the Oscars don't like to nominate someone whos not doing something out of the ordinary, which is being fantastic in every film hes in.

But I would just like to stop all the why wasn't leo nominated talk, because we know that could go on for days. And we all know he is fantastic.

Nanda: Melissa was fantastic in Bridemaids. loll at the food poisining in the bathroom scene :rofl:
