 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
I'd say it's his turn as Howard Hughes in The Aviator. I honestly think he deserved to win the Oscar over Jamie Foxx in Ray that year.

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
I agree. He's reaching the point in his career where a solid, not outstanding, performance could win him an Oscar, and after all he's done, I wouldn't wanna see that.

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
Hm, while he was good in The Aviator (and it was his best adult performance to date then), Foxx still deserved it over him (and Cheadle too in Hotel Rwanda).

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
Hmm, someone change his/her vote from The Departed to Gilbert Grape, so these two are even now...

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
So many good choices but I went with the role in the Departed.

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
In the light of Body of Lies' release soon, I thought I'd *bump* this.

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
Leonardo DiCaprio's my favorite actor. I thought he gave his best performance (to date) in The Aviator, followed by Blood Diamond and Total Eclipse.

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
I changed my vote to Frank Abignale.
He was amazing.

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
Hmm, at some point The Departed and Grape were tied and now the latter is leading by ten votes over it? Looks like a lot of folks changed their votes/took them away from Departed.

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
I find his Howard Hughes one of the best performances of all time. The Aviator was a merely a good movie, but his performance was amazing in it.

2. The Departed. Probably should have won
3. What's Eating Gilbert Gape. For the age he was, it was a pretty amazing performance
4. The Aviator. Don't really have anything to comment except that it was a great performance
5. Blood Diamond. I kind of feel his performance in this was overrated my thoughts exactly. dicaprio is gonna be a screen legend; a jack nicholson talent/cary grant looks/charisma combo, enjoy his roles n films while you can

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
I redid the poll, adding the performances from Shutter Island and Inception.
The Departed's remains my favorite, but my #2 is now Shutter Island.

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
Interesting how almost every role suggested above has been picked at least once (except for Romeo).

 Re: Best Leonardo DiCaprio performance
Leo makes better choices as an actor than any actor working today. Brilliant.
