Give Leo the Oscar, Already

Have you seen these Leonardo DiCaprio's must-sees?

Give Leo the Oscar, Already
Hollywood Reporter

We all have something that haunts us. For Leonardo DiCaprio, it is an Academy Award (aka an Oscar). The internet has really taken the meme game to another level with the jokes about how he has yet to receive an Oscar. I've even seen a picture of his walking stick from The Revenant receiving an Oscar. Instead of mocking poor Leo, here's a list of some of his movies and why he makes the movies so great.

11. What's Eating Gilbert Grape: Arnie Grape

Never heard of it? Give it a shot. Leo does a great job playing the role of a young boy with a Sensory Processing Disorder. If you don't get the feels from his relationship with his teen brother played by Johnny Depp, then you might want to see a doctor.

10. Revolutionary Road: Frank Wheeler

Leo meets Kate Winslet (again) in this movie as a struggling married couple. Ever wondered what it would be like to be married to Leo? Pop this in your VHS...Blue Ray.

9. The Departed: Billy

The only thing I love more than Matt Damon in the Bourne series is Matt and Leo as a duo on the big screen. This movie rocks because they chase each other around like a dog chasing its tail. Get ready for the biggest plot twist in Boston since the Red Sox reversed the curse.

8. Romeo + Juliet: Romeo

So, director Baz Luhrmann took a psychedelic spin to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Once you buy into the artistic detail, you can really appreciate the literature that spills out from young Leo's mouth. I'd choose to be star-crossed with Leo any day.

7. Django Unchained: Calvin Candie

Would not recommend watching this right before you go to bed. This movie is very intense, and Leo definitely deserves some credit for that. I also know that after seeing this movie, I never want to be on Leo's angry side. Bravo, Leo.

6. Inception: Cobb

This movie makes you think you can control the world via your dreams. Also, how does Leo make us feel the feels with this intense and intriguing movie? He's a great actor, that's how. In MY dreams, I'm with Leo forever.

5. Shutter Island: Teddy Daniels

Three cheers to Leo for making me buy in to the biggest plot twist of all time. I had to watch this movie at least five times to figure out what exactly had been going on the whole time. Well done, partner.

4. The Great Gatsby: Jay Gatsby


Baz Luhrmann at it again. Some criticized the anachronisms, but I've never been so happy to see a movie made from a book I read in high school (shout out to Mr. Macaluso). Not to mention Leo is the most charming looking Jay Gatsby I could have ever imagined. 100% guarantee that you will start using the phrase "old sport".

3. Wolf of Wall Street: Jordan Belfort

Crime, corruption, cocaine.

2. The Revenant: Hugh Glass

He doesn't talk much in the movie, you critics say? Have you ever portrayed a character crawling out of his own grave in the dirt to find his son dead in the forest? Not so easy, is it? Standing ovation, Leo.

1. Titanic: Jack Dawson

"You jump, I jump, Jack." You didn't think I would leave this gem out of the list, did you? The man who stole (and still owns) our hearts. The piercing blue eyes, the spontaneous adventures, the badboy attitude, it's all there. 10/10 all humans must see.

Everyone is saying that this is his year with The Revenant. Tune in February 28th to find out if his performance will finally get him his sweet, gold, little man trophy. I believe in you more than Buddy the Elf believes in Santa.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
