5 Films Leonardo DiCaprio Should Have Won An Oscar For Before

The Telegraph

He's dreamy, successful, and super talented. His name is Leonardo DiCaprio and his acting is nothing short of amazing. After acting in over 35 films, the handsome DiCaprio has only won an Oscar once, which should have been given to him long before now, but unfortunately, was overlooked and given to someone else. So here are five films DiCaprio should have won an Oscar for before now.

1. Titanic

DiCaprio was just a young 22-year-old at this time and still had women well into their forty's wishing they could be Rose on a gorgeous ship that was soon to sink. His kindness and charm ultimately stole the screen and of course, made us want to cry for a lifetime by the end of the film.

2. Wolf of Wall Street

If you didn't think he had it in him, you might want to think again. This film is definitely not a family-friendly film but since it is DiCaprio portraying the notorious Jordan Belfort you find yourself having a small love for the mischievous, cheating, drug addict that stole millions.

3. Catch Me If You Can

If you ever thought a child would have a tough time after a divorce sit down and watch this movie. DiCaprio once again charms our hearts while he is portraying an awful person.

4. What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Even without being the main star he is still talked most about in the movie. Portraying a mentally impaired boy, DiCaprio nailed the role so incredibly well we forgot who we were watching.

5. Django Unchained

As sweet and charming as DiCaprio is we can never see him playing the role of a slave owner but hey, it's called acting for a reason, and we're supposed to believe the actor is who they are portraying, only if they are that good. DiCaprio, of course, is that good and completely nailed the role so well I even started to hate his character, which never happens while watching a DiCaprio movie.

Although his Oscar is well overdue I must say I was screaming for joy when I witnessed him win. DiCaprio has stolen the hearts of millions with his charm and is looked up to by many aspiring actors who hope to be as good as he is on screen one day. Let's keep making movies great Leo!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
