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.

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.

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).

In the light of Body of Lies' release soon, I thought I'd *bump* this.

He didn't win though, Downey's theory stands. People thought Penn was great in I am Sam too, but no statue

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.

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.

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.

1. Catch Me If You Can. I just loved his performance. I just love everything about that film.

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

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.

Interesting how almost every role suggested above has been picked at least once (except for Romeo).

Leo makes better choices as an actor than any actor working today. Brilliant.
