Oh, Leo. How we love you so. If only the Academy loved you as much as your fans did. Yes, I know, we live in a world where Eminem and Nicolas Cage have Oscars and you do not. But no matter, for here are your best performances! For the sake of being original and fresh, this list will not include the films for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. All other films are fair game. So let’s get started.

2. The Departed (2006)
The absolute only reason DiCaprio didn’t earn an Oscar nod here is because the Academy doesn’t allow actors to be in the same category twice in the same year (he was up for Blood Diamond). He was perfect. Playing an undercover cop who infiltrates the Irish mob. Run by Jack Nicholson. I would be sh*tting myself. But the guy pulls it off so well! And by the climax of the film when all his frustrations and fears are let out…God, that guy can act. I’m getting more and more upset that DiCaprio hasn’t won an Oscar with every passing segment I write.
