The Thing Leonardo DiCaprio Doesn’t Get Enough Credit For

With each passing year, it gets more insane that Leonardo DiCaprio’s first and only Oscar win for Best Actor is The Revenant. I’m not sure which part of that is more egregious, the “first”—he should’ve taken it home at least one year earlier, for The Wolf of Wall Street—or the “only,” considering that since then, he’s arguably only gotten better and the competition has only gotten thinner. The most disappointing thing about it though, is that The Revenant (a film I have not rewatched since theaters, admittedly) is probably Leo’s least dynamic role across his entire filmography. It’s a travesty that he has a statue for just looking cold, grim and sad when he can do pretty much anything and everything, with a versatility that almost gets underrated because of how easy he makes it look.
