Whenever I watch movies that feature Leonardo DiCaprio or Johnny Depp, I always say "they seriously need an Oscar. Now!" Seriously. I can't think of anybody more deserving. Besides me. Haha. I was so incredibly happy when Kate Winslet received her Oscar for The Reader (a very good movie by the way), now it's time for her co-stars to get one.
She starred in Titanic and Revolutionary Road (or as I call it, Titanic 2: Jack Lives) with Leo and Finding Neverland with Johnny.
Leonardo DiCaprio rolls out dramatic roles every year. I don't think he's ever even been in a comedy (unless you think Catch Me If You Can is one, I'd consider it a comedic drama). He was nominated for an Oscar originally when he was nineteen for a Supporting Role in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (starring Johnny Depp). He lost to Tommy Lee Jones. Understandable, but that's really good! He was later nominated for leading roles in the Aviator in 2005 and Blood Diamond in 2007. He lost to Jamie Foxx and Forest Whitaker respectively.
But again, he pumps out dramatic roles like a machine and I think it's time he gets recognized for it.
Johnny Depp's not known for dramatic roles. He's known for insane ones. Insanely original. He was nominated for his role as Jack Sparrow in 2003's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Peter Pan creator J.M. Barrie in 2004's Finding Neverland, and as Sweeney Todd in 2007's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He lost to Sean Penn, Jamie Foxx (same year as Leonardo DiCaprio), and Daniel Day-Lewis respectively.
I proves that Johnny can be a pirate, an imaginative writer, and a psycho. He's so original in his roles. He creates them so perfectly and he makes them stand out. He was the Mad Hatter, Edward Scissorhands, Cry-Baby, a bank robber, Ichabod Crane, Ed Wood, Gilbert Grape, Heath Ledger's replacement a schizophrenic man, and a re-imagined Willy Wonka. Johnny could play YOU better than you play yourself! Haha!
These two men deserve Oscars more than anyone alive. Even Hilary Duff... haha.... yeah...
Side note: Miley Cyrus was on the red carpet a year ago and was being interviewed about the Last Song and she said she hoped to be nominated. What are you NUTS!? LOL.
