Jade Bahr Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If Leo doesn't deserve an Oscar then who deserve it, seriously? Even without being a fan of his work nobody can't denied that Leo is the biggest, most unique and successful actor on this planet right now. He is moving people (audience and critics) with his work for over 20 years no matter how non commercial his movies are. Without Leo "The Revenant" wouldn't be the same and alone this makes it for me oscarworthy. I mean nobody would care if Trumbo or Jobs would be play by another actor. Actors like Fassbender and Cranston are replaceable, Leo isn't ... Thanks ALL for the great updates. Can't wait for sunday!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw many events on facebook saying that if leo wins people will celebrate on public places. There is one in my city, Sao Paulo, just for fun of course, but is pretty adorable to see how many people, who are no movies fan, but who are so happy and cheering for him. As Jade Bahr said, leo is unreplaceable and is pretty amazing to see what he does to movie industry. we are all very lucky to live in the same time as this man, people will talk about him for a very long time.

oxford25 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Excerpt from recent interview with Maggie Smith, she talks about their BAFTA kiss , as well as, Leo as an actor Posting link to article below , she starts talking about Leo around 30 minute mark if you want to listen to her comments, plus the interview itself is very interesting as she discusses her famous roles , pressure of acting, and what it must be like for people like Leo dealing with today's world of social media/cellphones, etc Leonardo DiCaprio was just 19 years old when he earned his first Academy Award nomination, for portraying a developmentally disabled young man in the drama What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Two decades and five nominations later, he may finally be on the cusp of his first Oscar win with his role as a vengeful frontiersman in The Revenant — and he has at least one British dame in his corner. Acclaimed actress and two-time Oscar winner Maggie Smith recently expressed her admiration for DiCaprio during a wide-ranging interview with NPR’s Fresh Air. “You just think, God, what he went through in that movie,” Smith said of DiCaprio and The Revenant, which was shot in famously grueling conditions. Smith went on to say she’s a longtime fan of DiCaprio, with whom she recently shared a peck on the cheek for the BAFTA Kiss Cam. “That was the thrill for me, a real thrill because I think he’s a terrific actor,” she said with a laugh. “I’ve been rooting and voting for him since [What’s Eating] Gilbert Grape. I thought he was so amazing in that one. He was a young man, really very young boy, wasn’t he?” http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/23/maggie-smith-rooting-for-leonardo-dicaprio-oscars Kat Ditto About the Oscars, regardless if he wins or not it isn't going to change how respected and loved he is not only by people he is in the industry, but moviegoers everywhere.

oxford25 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Interesting interview with Leo's Oscar nominated makeup person Sian She explains how for his Hugh Glass characters she made changes in his teeth , nose and jaw line appearance, as well as, painting different colors of grey into his beard Quote I spoke to Robert Pandini who did a lot of the hair, and he talked about the fact that Alejandro found it important to connect those hair decisions to the character’s own personal history. Did you do that with Leo at all or was it sort of all based on the story of the film? Before the bear attack, we established Leo as a character. Kathy Blondell did his hair, a fabulous job, she’s a brilliant hairdresser. So, to start with, my brief was that he’s to look like a real tracker. He’s spent quite a hard life in a wilderness and they’ve been on this fur trapping expedition for a year already. So all the dirt had to look really ingrained. Leo wanted to do the entire film with an underbite, which meant jutting his jaw out. And I said, “It’s going to be so uncomfortable and you’re going to forget. Let me see if I can come up with something with teeth.” So, from his idea, I went to a brilliant guy in Britain called Fangs FX, who made my teeth for me, and they made me a few options. I had them build up the height of his lower teeth and project them out a little bit to give his jaw a protruding effect. I also put a nose augment in to change the shape of his face a bit. It’s subtle, but it does make a difference. And then, I had to do loads of weathering. You had to make him less handsome, I suppose. He’s an L.A. boy, he’s never had to work in the wilderness, or have his skin ruined, so I had to put that in there. There were a few scars I did, lots of nicks in his hands. Alejandro wanted me to age him a bit, so I did that too, and the beard had to be greyed every day, which involves painting individual hairs with three different colors of grey. There’s a lot of work that nobody would have any idea was on there, but if it wasn’t on there, he’d look like an L.A. boy in a period costume. For the dirt, I used a certain type of dirt on his hands because it could stand up to being in the rain, and for his neck, I used a different type so it would go into the creases of his neck, and then I used something completely different on his face. It’s all that layering up that helps turn somebody into the character. Hopefully nobody notices it’s there, but I promise you, if he just stepped into his costume, you'd be like, “Well that doesn’t look right.” [laughs] It’d look really odd. But that’s sort of what I love to do. http://www.wheretowatch.com/2016/02/revenants-oscar-nominated-makeup-artist-sian-grigg-talks-dirtying-dicaprio Marinebing & Sweet Gaby As to Georgetown crowds, personally, I think Leo was probably surprised that many people would come out just in hopes of getting a glimpse of him , it speaks to his enduring popularity with the public Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
